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.
