Never seen one like this before...

That is a custom job, looks like it used to be a 4-door...but they did make a Ute similar in Australia...I kinda like it except for the wheels
 
NOW THAT'S A "ONE YEAR ONLY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe a "One and Only"??
 
If I EVER get a narrow A, that's what imma do with it. Looks tits!
 
Yeah, the styling should ideally be based on a hardtop, not a sedan, but there is no room for rear quarter windows, so you'd need custom door glass with a rake to the rear edge to match the hardtop roofline. A full hardtop B pillar would eat up more of the bed space, so you wouldn't want a sloped rear glass like this one has -- you'd want a vertical glass with sail pillars -- which means a lot more metal fab. Still, they did a fairly tidy job on this, but the side window looks odd and the whole greenhouse looks too short.
 
Remember when Cadillac station wagons were ambulances.
 
That is screaming for a mid mount 426 with Hillborn stacks popping out behind the rear window. You could call it the "Littler Black wagon"
 
I really wish Mopar made one for the states, I think they lost a big market share back then. GM had the El Camino and Ford had the Ranchero Mopar had nothing
