J'aurais aimé voir le setup pour mettre les roues avants motrices... par curiosité.

Dans les faits, ces véhicules Ford du début des années 50 étaient offerts comme tel en Australie.  

D'ailleurs, sur ce Ford 1953, la conduite est à droite.

Plusieurs constructeurs offraient de telles voitures ... nommées :  Coupe "Utility".

A ute – an abbreviation for "utility" or "coupé utility" – is a term used originally in Australia and New Zealand to describe passenger vehicles with a cargo tray in the rear. In South Africa the term "bakkie" is generally used, although General Motors in that country now sells the Australian Holden in small numbers there and calls it a ute, while a small front-wheel drive Chevrolet pickup sourced from Brazil and sold in South Africa is called a utility. However only General Motors uses this terminology.

A "bakkie" in Afrikaans, is actually a bowl to put something in. The boot (trunk) of the vehicle is called the "katte bak", meaning the "bakkie" (which is the diminutive for bak, as in "katte bak" for cats), "katte" being the word for cat.  But the name " bakkie" for a pick-up truck is derived from the "bowl" (that is, a bowl without a lid) at the back of the vehicle, to put something in.  It is also interesting that the small boat used to transport fish from a bigger boat to the shore is also called a "bakkie" by the Cape fishermen, meaning the "bowl" to transport or carry the fish in.
