Default more utes

Following on the coupe ute theme .

This is the 1941 De Soto I bought from Colin A. many years ago. The price was $80 . These utes are actually all Canadian sourced Plymouths with fake grills and badges - Dodge De Soto and the real Plymouth . I believe the body itself was made by TJ Richards in South Aust. with the front guards/wings, and the special fake De Soto grill and the bonnet being imported from Canada . The engine is the Canadian made long block 3 3/8" bore and 4 1/16" stroke

This ute was in good original condition . I bought this car with intentions of restoring it, but at the time I didn't have the skills or tools on hand .
