That's the VW Type 4-based Puma built in Brazil during the 1970s. I saw quite a few when I went to Rio de Janeiro in 1976
Sorry, Andy. Right idea (VW-based sport coupe), but that one's a VW SP2. The "SP" stood for Sao Paulo, but some called it "sem potencia" (without power).
Sounds great to me! With the Polo and the Fiesta, plus the Fit and Versa, maybe we'll see that segment of the market taken seriously for a change. (and please please please bring us a TDI version).
i have some old car parts that i found in the back of my garage. they are in good condition but i don,t know what they go to. the closest i have figured the door is a 50-52 belair i think. bumper piece might be the sameand also the seat.if someone could please help me it would be great.
This is small on the monitor at work, but I'll have a go - not too good with these though as they are all from the rear...
Nearest - Dodge -Polara(?), say about 1962...
White wagon - Ford Falcon, maybe about the same age. the big car in the distance, partially out of shot - Imperial, circa 1959/60? THe roof tops to the right. - one of them is a GM sedan of about 1959/60 - I assumed a Chevrolet Belair, but I don't know. THen there is a Rambler (hardly surprising given the anme over the dealer..- not sure of the exact model, but about 1959. Finally, in the far distance there isa wagon - I'm guessing another Rambler, but I can't be sure -
There was a British car in the 60's. It was a sedan and had a female name. I was talking to a friend and neither of us can remember what it is/was. I was initilally thinking ELisabeth but thats definately not it. Your suggestions are appreciateed!!
That's not a British sedan from the 60s or 70s, no wood on the dash, looks more Italian or French. By the same token it's too well instrumented to be German,oddly they've always been skimpy on that ( 911s excepted).
Oh, you're good at this, fintail. The car is a 1977 IKA/Renault Torino GTX Coupe. Rather handsome, considering that it was already a decade-old design (based on a '66 Rambler American Rogue).

Here's the Puma:
I should've got that, I saw the Puma in Rio as well. IIRC the SP2 was built in house by VW but the Puma was an independent effort using VW components

The rear shape reminds me of the Zastava 1100 we used to own, but that car was based off the Fiat 128.

The earlier Kaiser Vagabond was similar.

I'll post view #3 a little later, to give folks a shot at identification first.
