nice, what is he Itaparaty? (reg number ALU 1967) sounds brazilian, but what is it? There must be weird cars out there, I remember visiting Argentina about 8 years ago, and there were quite a number of cars that I never saw before, like the various Torino's. Can you give more on the Brazilian cars? Puma's?

there isn´t weird vehicles here, because the greatest car manufacturers has factories here...
see the thread Brazilian Astra vs European Astra in the European cars forum, to see some cars sold here...
or take a look at www.gm.com.br or www.ford.com.br and you see that cars sold in europe are sold too here...

I' ll be in Dakar in august, so I will be on the lookout. I think however that you might be able to find these things much easier where you live. (I was there last year for a week, Bucharest and Constanza)

imposible .. those pick-up are very special .. they made their way to dakar over the desert ... ... but if i think a bit more .. those holes in the roads are more than a match for the dunes :) :) :)

[piledriver]

What kind of pick-up are you talking about??
may someone put a pic of it??

I wonder if somebody from Brazil can tell me who's the # 1 ever icon in car racing history...? Or who was Ayrton's lifetime idol and friend...? Or a brazilian car constructor as famous as De Tomaso or currently selling as much super sport cars as Mr. Pagani ? Anyways....no thread war intended, just a reminder that this is a forum that makes people get closer in its passion about cars rather than a place to let people know about you bias.

Cars Are the Passion to drive which are being the Expression which we love to drive it on an top speed .............

In 1955, Willys produced their last car in the United States, and parent Kaiser-Jeep Corporation concentrated production on their Jeep line of vehicles. The manufacturing equipment was sent to Brazil and in 1960, the first vehicles from Aero-Willys do Brasil left the assembly lines.

In 1966, the luxurious Itamaraty was launched alongside the Aero-Willys 2600, Renault Dauphine and Jeep Trucks.

In 1968, control of the company passed to Ford, who dropped the Itamaraty Executivo, because it was thought to be to competitive with the Brazilian-made Ford Galaxie 500.

In 1972, the last Aero and Itamaraty models were sold, to make room for the launch of the 1973 Ford Maverick.

At the roughly the same time, Simca do Brasil produced and sold the Simca Chambord from 1960 to 1966 and then the restyled Simca (and Chrysler, who took control in this time) Regent, Esplanada and GTX, all of which were replaced by the Brazilian-made Dodge Dart in 1969.
