The companies sold enough they were built for several years. Ford even had a Falcon one.
Intresting how ever Ford started building them and quit.
From 1957 to 1959 the body followed the Fairlane car line. from 1960 production it followed the Falcon line, till near the end and went back to the Fairlane design.
Pick up trucks at the time were rough rideing and got poor fuel milage. I am sure Mom liked the nicer interior when she wore her finest to town on Saturday and had to stop for a couple hundred pounds of chicken scratch. Or as the Assie Lady who wrote Ford about such a car/truck she wanted to wear her finest to church on Sunday and haul the pigs to market on Monday.
GM decided to try to cut into Fords Market in 1959,based on the full sized Impal station wagon platform, was a short lived project with only 2 model years built.
In 1964 they reinterduced it in the Chevell platform till 1977.
In 1978 it was reinterduced again on the GM G body platform. the GMC Sprint was interduced in 1971 but was renamed the Caballenro in 1978. Production ended in 1987.
Studabaker has a Coupe Express model in the mid 1930's.
1937
