Title: FE-FC SEDAN/UTE
Post by: mickusmickus on February 22, 2011, 09:35:51 AM
Gday Everyone,

Was at the hairdresser yesterday and picked up a REALLY old version of streetmachine they had sitting on the rack.  Flicking through the pages I came across a pretty trick looking FE-FC radical custom that I hadn't seen before.

I am not sure if you would call it a ute OR a sedan but it was basically a ute front with a sedan rear.  The trick was that the boot section (of the sedan) had been lengthened to form like a long tonneau cover similar to what you see on modern utes.  No tail gate at all just the boot rolling down like a sedan.

The car was orange and had VT Commodore alloy wheels on it.

Anyone seen it, know it, have pictures of it?

I love this car, if they'd have used Ute doors and gutters it would have been perfect.

I like the look of the car, however I think that the following would improve it, As Stinky suggested Ute doors and gutters would help immensely. It I also would add rear 1/4 glass and make it into a coupe, similiar to the shoebox Fords of the early 1950's I would still retain it as a three seater, just leave the longer boot.

My 2c worth

When you think about it, if you added the rear 1/4 windows (I assume from the rear doors) you'd have to leave the sedan doors other wise the lines would be out again.

seems strange that you have dreamt up such a cool looking car that flows with radiused edges and just looks shit hot with a square edged door???

Must have just thought stuff it square will do i just want it finished...

Totally agree on the doors guys, that would have smoothed the whole look over a little more.
