Container ships are getting more expensive. Costs have went up 10% in the last 2 months alone.

First off, its El Camino... And that was not the only vehicle to utilize the same syle body. Ford had the Ranchero around the same model years as the El Camino. Australia was the birthplace of these car-truck hybrids, which are generically referred to as "utes," short for utility. The Holden Ute is just one example of these popular vehicles, and it's among that company's bestsellers.

Holden Ltd. was building truck bodies way before General Motors bought the company in the 1930s

The Holden Ute, officially introduced to the public in 1951. There were other ute-like vehicles prior to that date, used in part by the military and all built on sedan bodies with truck utility beds.

The first Holden utility model name 50-2106 was released in 1951. Based on the 48-215 sedan it shared the same 2.15 litre “grey motor” 6 cylinder delivering 60hp (45kw) which was capable of 30mpg (9.4 L/100)


This is a 1953 FJ Ute

Obviously I made a typo..... Fords suck, the El Camino was better just because it had Chevy written on it to me (obviously that means nothing about the quality I just hate Fords) I would love to push my wife's car off a cliff. The only good things ford made were Mustangs, their older trucks 1940-1960's, and tractors. But they did also give us the GT -500 so I guess that's another useless success story but still cool. Very uncomfortable to ride in though.

Love the Holden history though.
