South American maybe? Looks as if the base could be a 1957 Ford pickup.

Absolutely right.  Do you need a lock?

Ford F-100 base is correct, but Rolmar is not the name I have.

I have to specify that the name I'm asking for is the coachbuilder's one.

It is a ford custom truck or pick up sedan from Brasil. I have found it in a Brazilian blog about Cia. Guido Cé, a Ford dealer form that country. I dont know if this is the name you have, Im not sure if this car was modified by this dealer because  I cant find any specific information about the puzzle car.

In this blog there are some photos with other custom pick ups some of them modified by Carrocerias del Sol and others by Fabrica de Carroceria Storm & cia,

I think this car is one of the Carroceria Sturm & Cia from Novo Hamburgo (Arg.) Ford F-100 based car.  The point is your!

Just to add a bit here, Novo Hamburgo is also in Brasil, not Argentina :lmao:

The generic name for a pickup in Brasil was "picape" and the 4 door and extended 2 door variants were called "Cabinar" and "Duplar" and I am not sure which name fits which variant just yet.

These and many other photos can be found on Brasilian automotive history sites and it is a bit confusing as to who built which bodies.  Obviously, some were built by the two named companies here but I have also read that Ford do Brasil also built some themselves.

Bill
Cheers
Bill

Identify this car (make, model and coachbuilder) for a point.

I think that it was a Ford Brasil own making version. The Itacolomy Cabine dupla had the rear door on the left side.

Ford F-100-based, but by an independent coachbuilder.

Sulamericana Carrocerias F-100?
Not Sulamericana Carrocerias, but the name is very close

NOTE: The rule around here is that you may only post one question/guess at a time. If you change your mind about a question/guess before the puzzler responds, you should modify your post, not create another one.

Carrocerias Sul Ltda is correct, so you have earned a point.

Here is the original image along with some other examples of this coachbuilder's work:
