solid and intactWikipedia Information"Ford Australia was the first
company to produce a coupe utility as a result of a 1932 letter
from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia asking for "a
vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs
to market on Mondays". Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable
solution, and the first coup utility model was released in 1934.
Bandt went on to manage Ford's Advanced Design Department, being
responsible for the body engineering of the XP, XT, XW, and XA
series Ford Falcon utilities.The mid-1955 introduction of
Chevrolet's Cameo Carrier pickup truck helped pave the way for the
El Camino. Although it was a model variant of Chevrolet's Task
Force light-duty pickup, the Cameo offered an array of car-like
features that included passenger-car styling, fiberglass rear
fenders, two-tone paint, a relatively luxurious interior, as well
as an optional V8 engine, automatic transmission, and power
assists. Other pickup truck producers, including Dodge,
Ford, Studebaker, and International, began to offer flush-side
cargo boxes on some of their 1957 models, such as the Dodge C
Series, and the Studebaker E-series Deluxe. However, Ford also
introduced the 1957 Ranchero, and established a new market segment
in the U.S. market of an automobile platform based coup utility. In
1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's
full-sized Ranchero."American Dream MachinesAt American Dream
