DynaMike ◊ 2011-08-02 16:32	Because such a Borgward Isabella is much rarer in Brazil than a Beetle ?
DynaMike ◊ 2011-08-02 16:37	I know they were assembled in Argentina, but did they have an assembly plant in Brazil as well?

DynaMike ◊ 2011-08-02 22:31	The black American car looks like a (just) post-war Chevrolet, and the other black car looks to me too big to be a Traction Avant. Maybe a US Ford?
Bob Dieck ◊ 2011-08-03 16:11	The black car is a Ford, not Citroen. Borgward were imported from Germany, at that time there were no export-import of automobiles between Brasil and Argentina. Borgward was never produced in Brasil.
