Austrailan Lew Bandt ? invented the Ford Ute. I think he might have died as a result of pranging a 34 one he owned...someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Also the 46/48 Coupes that are RHD would have probably been imported from New Zealand as FOMOCO Australia didn't make them but they made some interesting local bodies such as coupe utes, roadster utes convertables you would not see in the US. Even 32/34 Seds and cpes had more wood content and different profiles to their US counterparts.

Any one notice the English V* Pilot hiding behind the 52 Peppermint Ford?
