looking at the architecture of he surrounding buildings, I am guessing it may not be an american option.

The were made by Ford of South America.I'm not sure were they were made or were they were all sold to but you see them time to time in Mexico.They were based on the 1973-1979 Ford pickups.

Have never seen one of these before. It's very odd they only made them in South America, maybe they couldn't import the vans down there for some reason.

or maybe there was something about them that didn't meet us safety codes.

yeah I wanted a full size 'Excursion' type truck from Dodge years ago. They built one in S.A. but you couldn't get one here because of that.

They also made them with windows.

Here is what the rear doors looked like.

I think they may have also made them with split rear doors that lifted up and dropped down.

How about a four door Bronco,the Suburban Ford never made.They would have needed to clean the lines up.

They also made them with a small box in back.

Cool Panel trucks. If someone were to import one and show up with it, I'd say we would let them in. The 4 door version in the other pic, no. I have seen those a few times here. They are just extended Broncos, basically. In Australia, the "vans" resemble pinto panels from the 70s. They are vans by their definition, and there was even one at the Anaheim c of c. When we were in the Bahamas on the vanner cruise, we saw all sorts of oddball vans. There are lots of them out there that we never see. Like I said earlier, there has not been a panel truck sold in the US since 1972, until the HHR. There are, obviously, panels newer than that in other parts of the world!

there is a chunky impot tax on work vehicles made abroad and brought to the us. this may be whe we don't see those panel trucks over here.
the new lttle ford is made over seas, as a passenger car with rear windows and seats. once they are brought here the seats and window get pulled and delete panels get put in, so technically it is a conversion?
remeber the brat? (little foreign truck-isuzu?) they added seats to that to make it a passenger car.
