Not so usual to see a coachbuilt Fiat Ducato motorhome with Spanish plates in Brazil, yet this one appeared in Florianópolis.


I don't know why Stellantis doesn't sell a stripped chassis version of the RAM ProMaster too...

I saw one of these Tiger RVs for the first time this week. Tiny little RV (at least for the USA) built on an Astro Van, with a true 4X4 system from an S-10. There were a few thousand made in the 80's.

Not an aerodynamic oddity, so it goes here:

edit: I think a slant-chopped Gremlin would be pretty sweet.

Heffron was going to make his working man’s car by shaving off a ton of weight from a donor car while making it more aerodynamic, too. ... Heffron bought a 1989 Geo Metro for the project. Metros weigh in at roughly 1,600 pounds
Typical news story -- lighter than air Metro.

I'm not sure what I saw yesterday. I thought it was badged as a Calibra convertible; but it should have been a Cascada. ???

Anyway, it was black on black and that reminded me of my 1958 Beetle Cabriolet.

Within a 20-years timeframe, this has been the 2nd RX-7 that I have ever seen, and the first with Brazilian plates.

The last time I gassed up in Cedar Flat, the high school kid at the pumps knew about the Metro -- and the XFi in particular. He washed all the windows so I tipped him 2 bucks.

'87 Euro-spec Corolla that I saw a handful of times in Porto Alegre. Not sure when and how it arrived in Brazil.
