Between the late '80s and early '90s, the Argentinian company Elio Agustín Grosso, famous for its Grosspal trucks, made an attempt to develop a full-size van similar to the American ones. Resorting to the same underpinnings of the Ford F-100 of that era, it relied on a fiberglass reinforced plastic body, and allegedly the plan was to feature a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder VM Motori Diesel engine made under license by Borgward Argentina. Lighting on this bodyshell, which was assembled on a Brazilian Ford F-1000 frame, was clearly not the same featured in the original prototypes of the Grosspal SuperVan, but most of the proportions seem to be exactly the same of the Grosspal SuperVan. How did a somewhat obscure Argentinian prototype which never reached full-volume production found its way to hit the roads in Brazil, I have absolutely no idea, but the '80s and '90s were still a time when creativity was high in the field of custom trucks in Brazil.
