I just returned from a trip to South America, and witnessed several VE Commodores driving around Brazil (all in black) badged as Chevrolets. They're the only large sedan on offer over there, except for Merc/Beamers etc. They really stand out on the road because most Brazilians drive small hatchbacks.
Pre-dating the Australian VB Commodore, Brazil had earlier versions of the Opel Commodore, but called Chevrolet Commodoro (yes, suffixed with 'o', not 'e')... in sedan and fastback form. In Argentina, there are still plenty of updated XK Falcons driving around; utes, sedans and station wagons. They stopped making these only a few years ago, but the more recent versions had revised frontal styling, ghia badges, alloy wheels etc... a very eery looking car in its final Argentinian spec. I've got pics if anybody's interested. Another interesting model I saw in Argentina is a fastback version of the final Cortina (TF ?). Looked pretty good too. |
