Apparently to restore whatever cosmic imbalance that was created by car based pickups,  Ford of Brazil created truck based sedans.

It might be worth modelling one just to see the fuss over which section it goes in.

60 years too early. And it still would at most have 1 person in it. If it had fins it'd sell

Hey! Wouldn't it be cool to pull up in a US car show in that?  People would be surrounding it all day!

Note that they did a lot of interesting and creative things in South America,  making something outta nothing!   With the close proximity I'm amazed we don't see more of their collector cars in the USA.

I've been collecting pictures of Brazilian and Argentinian trucks for years.

Both countries have countless coachbuilders converting the standard pickup into double cabs and utility vehicles.   Here is one example of a coachbuilt Brazilian Ford.

One thing to bear in mind regarding "South American" vehicles is each country was a separate market, with their own assembly plants.  Model changes and trim varied between them.

This is why the "South American" Chevy Nova ("No va") myth rings false with me.

That's an interesting looking body style. With Ford bringing back the Ranger small truck line this might be a viable body style for them.
