Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
I see that Powell Sport Wagon pickup as the predecessor of the Ranchero and El Camino in America, a utility car. Of course, it was the Australian Ute that was first.
As mentioned, these were made to sell as a handy second vehicle for light utility and sportman activity such as fishing. To go along with that, Powell also made mini-cycles, which were coming on as a useful aide to hunting/fishing back country. The perfect combo, the truck and the cycle. I think they made cycle first. There was am old motorcycle company called Powell, but I'm not sure it was the same
