Cars in the 'hood. Here is a Land Cruiser station wagon fully outfitted for the wilds of the urban streets, I expect someone has imported this lovely old truck from parts unknown. It's a very basic model, there aren't even seatbelts for the bench seats in the back.

Venezuelan 1970s production FJ47. About two feet longer than the standard FJ45. Specifically built as local "por puesto" (pay by seat) buses.
Thank you! We don’t see the longer wheel base units here.
As far as I know the extra long FJ47 variant was only found in the Venezuela market. The slightly shorter FJ45 were fairly common in South America, Australia and the middle east. Colombia had the FJ43 that was half way between the FJ40 and the FJ45. Those do pop up on Bring A Trailer with some frequency. Someone is buying them used and having them restored to new condition down there, importing and selling them here in the US.
We had LWB ones as well as SWB - but they had a natural competitor here in the shape* of the Land Rover, so there was already a market to break into. D.
*actually very many shapes!
