In the United States, Ford was the first to launch the ute category. It took two model years before Chevrolet would have a competitor ready in 1959. It immediately outsold the Ford Ranchero. Summary: A 1970 El Camino laid in disrepair while the owner served his country. In the United States, over time, there would be challenges by competitors that would come and go.īy 1987, the small pickup truck category was increasing in influence. This affected sales of the ute category as a whole. The El Camino and the Subaru Brat were the only ones left. Although the El Camino outsold the Brat, both would be end production that year. There would be a small attempt by Subaru in 2003, to produce at a ute, this time called the Baja. Born in California in 1963, Foose has risen from mild hardship to become one of the most celebrated and decorated automobile. But, it would be shortlived, as the ute category never regained popularity as it did before.
