Renault-based Ford Pampa

When the Brazilian operations of Willys-Overland merged with Ford in '67, the works on a compact car based on the Renault 12 were in an advanced stage. So, instead of just scrapping it to bring the 1st-gen Euro Escort instead, Ford kept the Renault-based model and named it Corcel (Stallion). In the late-70s it was rebodied, becoming more square-looking, and in the '80s a coupe-utility bodystyle was added to the range, named Pampa after some wet prairies in Argentina, Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul (the southernmost Brazilian state, where I'm from). FWD was standard, but there were some 4WD ones.

The Pampa was only available with regular-cab, but there were some double-cab and extended-cab aftermarket conversions.

One of my favorite Pampa-based conversions is the Engerauto Toppazio, but it's extremely rare. I have only seen this one in my entire life.
