V8 Engine

 

Trucks

 

cool pics...and history...thanks for sharing....

 

I noticed that too, it seems Ford is always leading Chevrolet!!

Doc.

 

This first car is a 28/9 Ford Roadster. Why it has a Chev badge on the door is anyones guess. I think one of the directors just decided it was time to have a good company car.

Doc.

 

Hahhahahahahha I have to agree!!!

 

ricardo thanks for the pics and little history on GM Brazilian

 

Nice catch! I would have missed that one.

 

Ricardo all the Aero pictures I have seen from your area are 4 doors. Did they ever make the 2 doors in Brazil?

 

Anyone else notice how the first one is a ford?

 

yes!:d

 

Thanks Ricardo. Great history. Any pictures of the circus? Slim

 

I guess so! I check it out to be sure then I tell you!

 

Those are quite hard to find! It was the 1920's and mainly in the countryside...Those days were hard to find a camera! But there might be some! Im looking for that...

thank you for the posting that was when GM was great. You would have thought they at GM would have learned back in the 70s people will not buy cheap shit cars. well they still have there Vett and 500HP Caddys.

 

if you think that is true, you should look at the sales figures for the last few decades. all people buy now is cheap shitty cars. gm has to follow suit or fold completely. pumping out shitty econoboxes is where the money is. hence the good sales figures of honda, toyata, and nissan. sad state of the world, today. i am 23, and cannot believe the kinda crap cars my generation considers cool.

 

GM has a long relationship with Brazil...Only Ford is longer around here...Europeans, Japanese and the others got here much later!

 

Very neat pictures. Any of the old plants, dealerships still standing?

 

I notice that most of the female workers are wearing open toe sandals ,try that in a factory today....LOL

 

O que é uma bela história da General Motors deve ter feito um monte de carros naquela época para o mercado brasileiro muito obrigado Ricardo
