Local photographer took a pic of my car at the track. Notice the hidden shape of the rocket logo in the trunk with the ray of light shooting out the back. I thought it was a cool picture.
Cosmic Charlie: About that 442 UTE; Hmm... Seems to be executed fairly well from what I can see. But I'm not sure I go for it, just yet. Maybe it will grow on me.
442 UTE on Australian tags is Aussie slang for 442 Utility. The owner also has ‘70 Texas tags that read RRX-442. (prescription 442). The car has been around locally for fifteen years now. Definitely a looker. I have a photo in the shop in my drive framed from many years ago. Good times
Might have Australian connections. The plate of 442 Ute fits if that's the case. The Holden (General Motors), Ford, and Chrysler motor companies built pick ups which are called are called Utility vehicles, thus Utes. They were usually along the El Camino, Ranchero lines. The front plate appears to have Australian shape, not as tall as US plates. Nice looking I think
The Holdens and Fords beared a strong American identity. However, they were dimensioned smaller, more like their European counterparts. The Holdens were basically just re-badged Vauxhalls and Opels. The Chrysler products were built on American-sized platforms, the only differences being minor styling details and available drivetrains. Too bad, we didn't get to buy Mopars styled for Australia
What's pictured there in your post is more than likely an El Caminoed custom clone, since General Motors themselves have never marketted any such vehicle
