1969+ Volkwagen 1600, made in Brazil. I don't know what about those qud lights, though. |

It's a Brazilian VW, based on the Typ 3, resp. a four-door-prototype of the Type 3, which was never produced in Germany. The prototype still exists in the AutoStadt Wolfsburg. About the exact name of this Brazilian VW I must ask a friend. He owns the only existing in Germany (a private import). |

And here: origin Germany, made in Brazil? Or is this car estimated too different from the original Typ 3? |

Depends on the case... Some of the Typ3 that we have use as basis the mechanical/chassis, the body being completely different as far as I know, these can be considered as a true Brazilian car. This one looks different. If it is the 4-door German Typ 3 that was never made in Germany, maybe it can still be considered as having a German origin? PS: why do that front (headlights+fenders) make me think to a Rolls-Royce?  -- Last edit: 2007-11-24 17:52:30 |

Tja, antp, it's the class of the car, which gives you the Rolls Royce-feeling. I do have this feeling, too with my own car /vehicle_36521-Volkswagen-K70-Typ-48-1973.html  Or depends my feeling on the class of the owner?  |

In according with the site www.bestcarswebsite.com.br, of Brazil, "the fastback TL, VW 1600 (the car of this link) of four doors and the Variant had less success than Brasília. The three were based on models of the German head office, denominated Type 3. THE first was the 1600 four-doors, thrown in December of 1968 in VI Auto Show, in São Paulo. The back motor was of 1,6 liter, 50 cv and refrigeration to air of high turbine. The body had three very defined volumes, four doors and straight lines. It was first Brazilian VW with this configuration. In front they stood out the rectangular lights, substituted by four circular already in 1970. It was accommodated four passengers well, the front trunk was reduced and there were a good door-objects soon behind the back seat. As your futures siblings, Variant and TL, didn't have great stability in curves and the final speed was about the 135 km/h. In Germany, your equivalent one was thrown in 1961 and it was only available in the version two-doors. In Brazil it made success among the taxi drivers, but it won the nickname of "Zé-do-Caixão" by virtue of the forms retilíneas. It finished your production in 1971, to give place to TL." Zé do Caixão (Jose of the Coffin) is a famous Brazilian film director of terror films name that maintains your fingernails of the hands without cutting there are years. A lot of people said that the straight lines of the car reminded a coffin, for that the pejorative nickname. |
