datsunZ ◊ 2007-06-22 21:22	In Brazil nicknamed as "Zé Do Caixaò"

Edit: sorry, indeed it is a special one: http://www.automag.be/article.php3?id_article=166 (scroll to middle of the page, or search "version brésilienne") Original Typ 3 was not 4-door, and was quite different looking. -- Last edit: 2007-06-22 22:48:30

vinni ◊ 2009-09-12 22:45	Yes, datsunZ, the nick of this car was "Zé do Caixão", who's José Mojica Marins, a brazilian director and actor of horror movies, known in other countries as "Coffin Joe". This sedan had another strange nickname, "Saboneteira" (soapdish), but i don't know why...
