Don't know who currently owns this 1941 Ford army ute. Quite a rare vehicle as production was limited. There are a few survivors around. The US Forces in Australia and the RAAF used these utes. The example that was at Cooma wreckers back in the 1970s was saved by VMVC member Bevan Fenner.

Thanks
Thanks for the link Hanno.
This is the Ford sold down Geelong way a few years ago..... it has a 1942 front grill on it which may indicate the production went into the 42 model year. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...hlight=Geelong

Spotto
Have a look for the 1941 Ford military ute in this film, depicting how busy Melbourne city streets were in 1954:
