Re: Brasilia


The Brazilias I saw were all labeled as such.  A friend who lived in 
Sao Paulo for a few years has confirmed that VW made just about 
everything under the sun there with the label Brazilia on it.

I saw the rabbit body on a T1 chassis in Wisconsin and then several 
of the T3 and T4 varieties in 1986 in and around Buenos Aires when I 
was there for 2 months.  I also saw a very nice T34 just down the 
street from my hotel in Buenos Aires; beautiful condition, obviously 
well loved.
