Hello All- This is a picture taken in Neiva, Huila a city in Colombia. Colombia is famous for its "chivas" colorful truck conversions that carried passengers and cargo. This is probably a proto or ur-chiva. What year and type of Ford do you think this is based on?

Just as some trivia- Pablo Escobar, notorious drug lord, also owned a 1928 Cadillac, in homage to Al Capone.

Thank you nzcanerd- you also answered my question last time- you are amazing.

Hello- This is my second time posting- but with a similar question. These pictures were taken in Colombia- probably in the 1940s, and the car is my great-grandfather's. He almost certainly sold this one to buy a Packard Clipper "Super". Can anyone identify this car?

Yeah- I think it a CJ-6. See the fourth sentence below. Looks like a longer wheelbase. The CJ-6 was a stretched version of the CJ-5 with a 20 in (508 mm) longer-wheelbase (101 in, 1955-1971 / 103.5 in, 1972–1981).[70] The extended chassis allowed a variety of configurations, including adding a second row of seats. Introduced in 1953 as the M170 military version, the civilian CJ-6 made its debut in 1955 as a 1956 model. Never very popular in the United States, most CJ-6 models were sold to Sweden and South America. It was also assembled in South Africa, by Volkswagen's local subsidiary.[71] The U.S. Forest Service put a number of CJ-6 Jeeps into use. American sales ended after 1975, with the introduction of the CJ-7. Just 50,172 had been made when the series went out of production completely in 1981.[40] Just as in the CJ-5, the V6 and V8 engine choices appeared in 1965 and 1972.

Hello All- This is a picture of my father (picture left) and uncle (picture right) and a friend of theirs. This was taken in the early 1960's. They are out hunting and a couple of shotguns are up against the side of the jeep-like vehicle. Can anyone identify the vehicle? Ernesto Blanco

My wife's grandparents, Bogota plates, probably in the 50s?

Thank you Bloo, this website is a wonderful resource.

This was taken in Bogota Colombia, my grandfather is making the moves on my grandmother, the young woman on the left. Any ideas on the car?

Another point, I think the front wheels are smaller than normal, giving the illusion of higher front fenders. Also the wind screen is a two piece unit, looks like the standard was a flat one piece. Does anybody know the advantage of the rear placement of the radiator in these Renault cars?

Thank you both for your help, yes I agree with nzcarnerd, http://voitures.renault.free.fr/?img=4475 I also confirmed that the picture was taken in Sevilla, Spain. And, I also agree, there have been modifications to both the fenders and the lights, I wonder if these cars were finished to the customers specifications. Those wheels are interesting, the hubs are exposed but there are no lug nuts, I tried to find true disc type wheels and they all had the central lugs.

This picture was taken either in Colombia or Spain, probably before WW-II, my wife's relative was the Colombian ambassador to Nazi Germany.

This is a picture from my wife's family album, this maybe in Colombia or Spain, probably pre-WWII.
