EDIT: Welp, I just got proved wrong below, it's a BR VW after all. Thanks for the help! (And sorry for acting so stupid) -- Last edit: 2019-07-25 05:52:54

Brazilian Volkswagens from the '70s that are not Brasilias or Fuscas are rare to see nowadays here, so that's my guess, considering most of the cars used in the movie were easy to find (regarding classic cars), except for the C-10, which seems to be restored just for the film. It's clearly a (late) Brazilian VW 1600. It has the Brasila-nose, not the 412-nose and the doors are from a Typ3. And it's a fourdoor, but without the third side window, the fourdoor-Typ4 has.
