Driving in Style - Brazil 1970



When we arrived for church Sunday night, this beauty was sitting across the street from where we are presently meeting. This is a 1970 VW Sedan. I had never seen one before, that I know of and this was was in pretty close to mint condition. Somebody had taken care of this ride.





In 1970 while the Big Three in the US were pushing Chargers, Camaros, Mustangs and other gas guzzlers, Volks was showcasing this 96.3 cubic inch luxury car. I know it looks like something from the Cold War Soviet Union era but this was considered a high end set of wheels back then.



The sign in the back window says its for sale. It didn't say for how much and I didn't care enough to call. Who knows, back in the day Roy may have sold a few of these over at McPherson's Motors, home of fine cars. If a pink elephant can help you sell Yugos, this heap should be no problem.
