Default Ford Celebrates Ute's 80th Anniversary
http://media.ford.com/content/fordme...niversary.html

Excerpt:
Quote:
  • Ford celebrates the 80th anniversary of its ute – the forerunner of modern pickup trucks – based on the first sale to a Melbourne-area farmer in February 1934
  • A 23-year-old Ford Australia designer created the ute by listening to the farming family’s request for a vehicle with more utility
  • Ford’s truck teams translate customer needs into innovations more than ever, including the all-new 2015 F-150 with high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys throughout the body
  • Ford sold more than one million pickups globally in 2013 based on Ranger growth in Asia, F-Series’ 37th straight year as America’s best-selling truck and the “International Pick-Up Award 2013” in Europe

Heaven forbid they should use a photo of a Falcon ute on the webpage
