My impression of the Brazilias was that it was a rather generic 
name for something VW based, but unique and Brazilian made. I've 
seen type 3 and type 4 based Brazilias for sure, and I think I've 
seen a type 1, also.

I saw something very strange here in Madison about 15 years ago. 
When I finally got close enough to look under it I could see that it 
was a Rabbit body on a type 1 pan. It had no grill in front, and the 
area behind the back seat was closed in for the upright engine. I 
THINK this said "Brazilia" on the back.

I suspect the longer you're there, the more variety you'll see.
