The Day Utility was an American automobile manufactured in Detroit, Michigan by the Day Automobile Company from 1911 to 1914. The Day used a four-cylinder, 30 hp engine and shaft drive. Removal of the rear seat and doors allowed the car to be converted from a five-seater touring car to a light truck in one minute. As a truck, the Day was able to carry up to 1000 lb in a 36 in by 96 in cargo space. The rear seat could be lifted away by triggering two spring locks. The Day had an advertised price of US$950.
