UNDERCARRIAGE
: Super solid and intactWikipedia Information quot;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 quot;a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can
carry our pigs to market on Mondays quot;. Ford designer Lew Bandt
developed a suitable solution, and the first coup utility model was
released in 1934. Bandt went on to manage Ford #39;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 #39;s Cameo Carrier pickup truck helped
pave the way for the El Camino. Although it was a model variant of
Chevrolet #39;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 #39;s full-sized
Ranchero. quot;American Dream Machines
