Ford Australia was the first company to produce an Australian Coupe ute, When the Australian version was displayed in the US, Henry Ford nicknamed it the "Kangaroo Chaser".
In 1950, Ford released a "utility" model, which was based on the 48-215 sedans. With both Ford and Holden now producing Utes, this started the long-standing tradition of Australian-designed 2 door vehicles with a tray at the back, based on a passenger-car sedan chassis.
It was purchased at Bernie Zieminski's collection auction in Medford, Oregon. It has a vin modification tag on the left side of the firewall from Queensland, Australia dated July 2000 when it was originally imported into the United States.
When bought in 2009 it was chopped, wheel wells restyled, tailgate filled, converted to left hand drive. Next they added a front clip, 9" ford rear end, tubbed the back end added air ride and a hard tonneau cover. The body work is very well done although its starting to show a few minor flaws. For the power it now has a SBC w/twin turbos.
