I just found this on accident and its kind of interesting. The FC was built in Spain, but had a different body. It looks like something some GRMers would want!
Wikipedia said:
n the 1960 s, Kaiser-Willys licensed VIASA (Vehículos Industriales y Agrícolas, S.A.) to build Jeeps in Spain. During the late-1970 s, VIASA was absorbed by Ebro trucks (a division of Motor Iberica). The "SV" line of commercial trucks were built using a Jeep chassis, just like the FC models in the USA. The unique Iberian models included the Campeador (one-ton pickup), Duplex (double cab pickup), Furgon (one-ton van), and the Toledo (9-seat van). Two engines were available: the Super Hurricane in-line six or a Perkins 4-cylinder diesel.
I've heard of it but never seen one. Looks like their stylists only had a straightedge when they drew those things up.
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

Oh come on. It's still much better looking than:

Therefore I want one, or two.
The body looks like it was stamped out of one large piece of sheetmetal.
What does it look like when you take it out of it's packing crate?
Jeep brought this concept based on the FC to Moab last year.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. But I really like what the OP posted. Weird is cool.
Yeah. Because Jeep has always been known for graceful curves and flowing lines.
I also get a kick out of XJ owners saying scion xb's are too boxy

Ugliest thing I've ever seen, the Ford F1000 Galáxia, from Brazil.

Wow, all of a sudden I feel like I could design something that doesn't suck that bad.
...and I also want to duplicate it!
Looks like something the Canadians on South Park would drive.

+1. Having spent a -lot- of miles in a cab-over truck.. I think they are perfect for utilitarian needs. Puts the biggest storage/container space into the smallest footprint

Trust me, I understand. Just paint it rustoleum blue and take it to the nearest contours event.
