You see I would have called that a (fake) woody.
When I think panel it has metal instead of glass in the rear side windows.
We call them “panel vans” when sedan based, I think you guys called them “sedan delivery” ???
This is what I imagined.
Sydney suffers from this now. Median house price is AU$1.6 million !
I read “birds that bark”
(our Lyrebird can amongst other noises it can copy, there was one up the road that perfected the sound of a car alarm!)
I saw him on that tour, what a great show!
I saw this on another thread. @RedVee and here I thought American Bands liked to write raunchy songs!
For those that can’t understand the crowds Aussie accent…the chorus they’re screaming back is printed on lead singers shirt.

Panel vans are what we call small vans with no side windows.
Does that covert to more or less Canadian?
I told y’all this story…
Mid 90’s I get invited to the Namm show by a harmonica buddy.
He sez, we are going to meet my buddy Steve there.
peeples keep getting his buddies autograph and taking pictures and I lean over and ask my buddy what the deal is, and he tells me Steve is the guitarist for Yes.
I knew “Owner of a lonely heart” but that’s all. Steve was a pretty cool dude. But I still never bought an album

Yeah. Their first two albums were ok but The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge were fantastic. I liked tales ok but the studio albums after that left me behind for the most part.
Sedan delivery was a station wagon body w/o windows behind the driver's compartment.
Perfect pairing(I don't like Jagger either).
Yes - ours typically were sedan derived. Like a Ute but covered over, no rear seating.
Holden, Falcon, Valiant etc range would include 4 Dr sedans, coupe, Ute & Panel Van. Plus smaller panel vans in the Mini, Ford Escort and Holden Gemini (like Chevette).
and Yes, Au$1 = Can$0.91 atm
Yes, that’s them but our Panel Vans usually had a high roof line.

Funny enough, that isn’t a rude song at all. It was written about a friend that was hit by a car and they weren’t sure if she’d pull through. Hence the guitar imitation of an Ambulance siren.
The first time the band heard the crowd coming back with that reply verse… they were shocked and upset.
They eventually decided to go with it.
These are ruder…

In the mid 70s we had a Panel Van craze with them getting kitted out as “Sin Bins” and graphics painted all over them. I think at the same time you were doing the same on Astro type vans but we mostly used our smaller ones.
Some I shot at last years All Holden Day

I know there's been a lot of love for the DeCola pickups in here lately.
