Needed to make a platform out if 3/4 for my cali king bed. The hatch took two 38x84 pieces (sticking out a foot or so) with no issues. I did get to hear the exhaust popping while driving home too. Made me completely rethink my exhaust goals. I think just an axle back would sound amazing.

Love this car more and more every day.
 
You drove with your hatch lid OPEN? :eek: :D that's the only reaction I can come up with. A van I'd do that too, not a Gran Turismo. You're a braver man than I.

A rose by any other name ... :)

Sadly, a class of vehicle that kind of went extinct over here. I love those old haulers - still quite popular with the collectors.

Well, if Corvettes can do it...

HD is maybe a mile from the house. The hatch was almost closed... Just a few inches of gap.

Triangulation is a wonderful thing. Just driving around with the hatch unlatched puts all the side pressure on the hinges alone. I think my sleep was less than ideal last night because of the images created by this discussion! :p

I've hauled lots of things in mine that required the hatch to be open but I use bungee cords to hold it down with a piece of foam to protect the body work
 
Let's face it - on the world stage, we're all just amateurs ... :):eek:

Not believing, of course. We say "if you don't have a pic it didn't happen." But really, for stuff like this it needs an in depth video to even start believing what you're seeing.:cautious::p

How's this? o_O

I'm a believer; if the load isn't plastic boxes, like the unbelievable pic looked like to me; I see now that it, too, is "only" cardboard:P. That last case in your link is going down.

I would never have believed it if not for that picture. So what did you call them?

The accepted title seems to be 'coupe utility', but as there were really only two marques nobody I knew ever called them that - they were usually just referred to by their name, either the Ford Ranchero or the Chevrolet El Camino (and its twin model the GMC Sprint). They were build on station wagon (estate car) chassis of already existing models. I guess 'Ute' would have applied equally well here, but never really caught on.

They soldiered on into the late eighties (the Chevy outlived the Ford), but sales fell to a point where they just couldn't justify them anymore. Some of those early models like the El Camino in that picture have really striking styling, and my brother had a later model GMC Sprint with a 402 cubic inch big block - that was really quite a performer.

Seeing more of them at car shows these days - I think they're having a bit of a resurgence with car aficionados ... :thumbup:
