Mitsubishi Delica: Background
The Delica has a complex history going all the way back to 1968. It was originally based on the design for a cabover van and a pickup truck that were made about a year prior to the Delica’s release. The name “Delica” is a testament to this haulage-based heritage, being a contraction of two English words, “Delivery Car.”
Even from the earliest days, models were made for export, in particular to Europe, the Caribbean (at least until third generation), Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
