I guess they started as Willys and then became Fords, if I was Jay Leno I think I would have all the cool weird market vehicles we never got. Those F Series crew cab things down there are cool too, certain years are ugly as hell but others are sweet. My great uncle who was an engineer went to Brazil after WWII to build dams and he stayed there, so I have some extended family we sometimes talk to. They could help.... The other great uncle Barry went to Tahiti and got married, my family is in Hawaii. So those people all speak French and Tahitian and it’s hard to communicate. Maybe they could get me a French car...

Tahiti has a really good mix of vehicles. Lots of different brands there. I even spotted my car’s doppleganger, and had to snap a photo. (Of course now that I look for it, I can’t find the photo).

Can’t talk about weird Brazilian trucks without mentioning their truck sedans.

Yeah the F-75, I mean we can get a Willys so it’s not too bad, I just never loved the front of them.

Yup, this truck started out as the Willys Rural, then the station wagon became Ford Rural and the pickup version became the F-75 after Ford aquired Willys Overland in Brazil. That’s not the end of it, however. B ack in the 60's and 70's Ford absorbed several other makers here in Brazil, including Renault, and for a time you could find Renault 4 cylinder engines in Fords, including this one, which was actually a Jeep that was actually a Willys. They also made the Ford Corcel, which was actually a restyled Renault 12, not to mention the name Corcel translates to Stall ion, which is a car in the GTA series originally based on the Mustang.
As if that wasn’t confusing enough, Chrysler entered the Brazilian market by purchase of Simca’s local assets , and for a time produced Simcas with Chrysler badges, such as the Espalanda GTX, which had no relation whatsoever to the Plymouth GTX, and ended up being swallowed by VW, which means that, in 1980, VW built and sold a Dodge Charger in Brazil, that was actually a 1967 Dodge Dart with fiberglass addons. Try to wrap your head around that :D

That’s even weirder than that odd extended cab Land Cruiser pickup you helped me identify. That front end is remarkable for looking like exactly no brand I know of, yet it is Ford. . . with the rest of the car clearly being a Willys. Did they get a luxurious two stop lamps in Brasil or were they stuck with just one like the American ones?

Yeah it’s like some kind of 1950's car morphed into a truck, I see a real four door too. I don’t know much about them.
I like this color for the Willys Ford thing :
