This is a conversion of the Ford Maverick sedan developed by “Souza Ramos”, which was famous for making conversions for ford pick up trucks, and made by “Sulamericana Carrocerias”. Approved by Ford, the artisanal production consisted of removing the trunk lid and the rear window and cutting the diagonal cross members that supported the rear seat and part of the roof up to the central B-pillar. The new roof extension was connected to the C-pillar (rebuilt) and the D-pillar (new), with structural reinforcements also present in the trunk floor: the 72 kg (158 lbs) more on the rear axle improved both stability and braking. Fiberglass was used in the construction of the tailgate, fixed by hinges and supported by gas struts. The opening went to the rear bumper, forcing the repositioning of the taillights (more in the center) and the fuel nozzle (on the right side). The transformation was carried out in new or used sedans, with four or eight cylinders. Despite the high price, the result was good: the four doors provided unrivaled access and the trunk had 880 liters. The rear seat was replaced by a much larger one, with a movable seat and tilting backrest that perfectly aligned with the floor of the trunk, extending the total volume to 1530 liters. The interior finish was worthy of artisanal production: the armrest on the rear doors was reduced so as not to disturb the movement of the seat backrest and the sides of the trunk received fiberglass plates, with carpet covering the floor and storage boxes. wheel. Indispensable whim for a station wagon that cost about 33% more than its main competitor.
