Ok pickups weren't built to look cool, or stylish, but motors like this '38 Willys just look fantastic to me:

Hi

Well E83W's look cool to me!

Cheers

Dave

I should have seen that coming

I've read about a reallllyyy stylish American pickup from the 30s, with flowing wings etc etc that look more suited to a flamboyant coachbuilt car than a tradesman's vehicle, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is (will have to dig the book out)

I think it would be difficult to find a pick-up more elegant or stylish than an early postwar Armstrong Siddeley like this:

One of my favorites, 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express

[Uncle Joe]

I'm torn on this one, there are so many! Basically, any Studebaker, the 39 in stuchamps post is beautiful, but what also comes to mind is something odd like a Power Wagon. No flowing wings on this, just a purposeful look.....

If you were asking for a newer one, then the Dodge Ram....

Here's a pic of our '36 Ford V8 Ute,




and this is our '46 Ford pickup,

Saw a 'wedgie' type Austin Princess converted to a pickup a few years ago, seemed to have been a fairly simple conversion and turned what was(to my mind) a less than beautiful car into an elegant and interesting looking pickup.
