Ford Corcel
The Ford Corcel ( "charger" or "steed" in Portuguese) is a family car which was sold by Ford do Brasil in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela.

This iteration was the last version of that design to be built for a production car. Design Though the Chambord's engine and central section were retained, the Esplanada featured radically restyled front and rear ends. The interior featured reclinable leather seats and fine Jacarandá wood trimmings on dashboard and doors. The engine now was fed by an electric fuel pump and featured a 34-Ampère alternator.

Brasinca GT 4200 Uirapuru
The Brasinca Uirapuru was a GT-class sports coupe manufactured in Brazil between 1964 and 1966. Only 77 examples of the model were ever made because of the high production costs.
