one of the reasons for this was that various independent coachbuilders created their own versions of the van (mostly advertising vans), such as Angelo Orlandi, Rolfo, Boneschi, Introzzi, Colli, etc.
The Romeo van was favored because of its very low load area due to FWD.
The Romeo was built from 1954 to 1957/58, the Romeo2 'til 1966 and there was a Romeo 3 that was only built for about 6 month (being named just Romeo). The Romeos were replaced by the A11/F11 and A12/F12s built until 1983.
Production #s for Romeo and Romeo2: 21,722 A11-F12: 12,778
