130rapid ◊ 2022-07-01 11:12	Indeed, we've 'Limousine' & 'Sedan' samples as well. It looks like 'Volkswagen do Brasil' actually didn't care. Try to find the car's name here... https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/59bug_member_of_family_brazil.php https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/brazil_beetles.php I'd say Portuguese nomenclature 'Exportação' would be fine until late 1958, when they ended the limited numbers assembly, based on German sourced kits.
