Pickup Cars on Parade

[HarleyEarl]

I like pickup cars alot. Even strange ones.

Here's a '49 Cadillac pickup car:

'42 Cadillac pickup car:

[vonVeezelsnider]

Bleh.

[balthazar]

I love 'pickup cars', too; not so much El Caminos (too common for me- tho I'd consider a '64-66), but the real oddballs, plus -yummy- flower cars.

On my other machine I believe I have a pic of a circa '49 Buick converted into a tow truck... and I saw another one of the same vintage at a junkyard in PA this spring.

I also looked at a '62 Pontiac/Armbruster flower car for sale a number of years ago, but didn't pull the trigger.

Mr. B...you might appreciate this vehicle.

This is Kaiser after they moved to Argentina.

A Kaiser funeral 'pickup car':

[vonVeezelsnider]

Wait, you're telling me that KAISER went to ARGENTINA some time after WWII?

:rotflmao:

[balthazar]

Not nuts about the 'casket canopy' sticking up, but the overall proportion (and the Kaiser's lines) are awesome. Thanx, HE!

[Camino LS6]

Heaven.

[balthazar]

Here's yet another pick-up Buick, a '53 Roadmaster, tho it's rather crudely truncated:

1938 Studebaker pickup car, beautiful vehicle:

[Camino LS6]

That Stude is one fine looking vehicle.

[balthazar]

[balthazar]

Can't put my mouse on the '59 version of this concept ('Pontiac El Catalina')...

[Camino LS6]

It's in the B&W pic thread.

[HarleyEarl]

Thanks for the great photos of pickup cars!

Here's an unusual factory model:

The '58 Meteor Ranchero:

German car-based pickups, eh? Okay. I've liked this double axle Porsche 928 pickup since I first saw it a few months back on YouTube:

luvin the German pickup car craziness...

Here's a factory Austin 1800 pickup car:

I wish I could find the Cirrus Ute with I saw once. The ass sloped upward and reminded me of the Oscar Mayer Weeniemobile.

[balthazar]

This would be more akin to a hatchback (the first?), but I think still meets the intention of a dual-use, cargo-centric car.

Old '54 Olds custom- love the changes & proportions on this one:

The only literal '4-door coupe' possible:

[HarleyEarl]

Is that a Kaiser or Frazer hatch?....and I do believe it was the first hatchback.

That Olds indeed has terrific proportions....wonder if that ever got finished?

Packard flower car?.....incredible stance.

[balthazar]

I believe that's the Kaiser Vagabond.

Olds was finished prior to being currently 'unfinished' :

[HarleyEarl]

[HarleyEarl]

luv that Olds even more...

[HarleyEarl]

This is a LaSalle sort of pickup car, used in promotional stuff for Moxie Drink.

Here's some tips on turning your car into a pickup.

If I ever win the lottery, you guys will be seeing some interesting "phantoms" along these lines. :AH-HA_wink:

[HarleyEarl]

Here's an interesting conversion based on a '75 Chevrolet Caprice:

Super Stepside:

[Camino LS6]

Seen that one, and don't really care for it much.

[Nick]

I'm in love with this project!!!

As am I. One day I will own one. I don't care how much...one day I will own an e39 M5 Ute.

I'm so proud.

Such a beautiful pickup car, a '48 Hudson:

Here's an Oldsmobile 'Bravada' pickup:

That '87 Chevy S10 "Bravada" pickup is really cool looking. I've seen older 2-door S15 Jimmy's converted into 2-door Bravadas, but never a pickup truck. In my head, I've tried to picture what a '98-'03 GMC Sonoma converted into a '98-'01 Olds Bravada pickup would look like.

I've seen something like that on one of the S10 forums I used to frequent, although I think it was the '95 - '97 front clip instead of the '98 - '01 one.

[GMTruckGuy74]

By the way, here's my current favorite pickup car:

[HarleyEarl]

I like that alot too.....especially the lower greenhouse....a favorite design element of mine.

I'd take one of these over the Denali, please:
