4 1969? Viasa Spanish Jeep Ad Sheets

I could not find dates on these, but the models and designs look very similar to the 1969 brochure, so I can only guess these are from around 1969. Each of these models are similar to the M-series forward control designs.

The "Jeep" Campeardo is reflective of the M-676; just a basic forward control truck:

This "Jeep" Duplex has four doors and a small truck bed, similar to the M-677:

The "Jeep" Toledo is similar to the M-678:

This "Jeep" Furgon has few windows than the Toledo model above, sort of like the M-679:

Very cool. I’ve never seen any of these Jeeps that appear to be specific to the Spanish market. They’re similar to the M-series FCs, but clearly not just civilianized versions. All of their body work is distinctly different. Were any of these sold in other markets?

JW, Good questions. These brochures came from Egypt, so maybe??? I really don't know much about these vehicles either. Here is some more info and pics: https://en.escuderia.com/jeep-visa-sv-fabricado-en-zaragoza/?utm_content=cmp-true and https://mossandfog.com/the-obscure-forgotten-spanish-jeeps-of-the-1960s/ - Dave

I'm going to post a video I found that seems to do a pretty good job of VIASA's history. Here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=AsRCxjinm04
