They say that Brazilians have so much creativity and improvisation that they should be studied by scholars NASAUS Space Agency.
Our inventions are valid for the world of cars, and the vehicle in the image above, which was circulated on social media, is a good example of this.
If you only look at the front, you’ll realize that it’s a Volkswagen Brasilia, a car that was made and sold in the country during the 1970s and also in the early 1980s, when it was discontinued.
However, looking better, you can see that the car’s cabin is not a classic German brand, but Ford Ka From the first generation.
By combining parts from two completely different cars, netizens dubbed the unusual invention Brazica. Others call it Caselia.
The mix of the two models wasn’t limited to the front: the rear is also from Brasilia and required several bodywork modifications to make such different bodies fit together.
The Ka’s rear lid, for example, received sheet metal at the ends to cover where the Ford’s tail lights were located.
Similar work was carried out on the rear fenders, with a view to filling in the Ford’s wheel wells.
The invention plates show that Brasica is registered in Praia Grande, a municipality on the south coast of São Paulo, with the name of Brasília 1980.
Apparently, the engine is still rear-mounted, as in the original Brasilia. If the assumption is correct, the luggage is placed above the engine compartment and also in the forward cabin.
It is worth noting that Ford and Volkswagen made cars together in the days of Autolatina – a joint venture between the two automakers, which lasted from 1987 to 1996, and gave rise to “twin” cars, such as the Volkswagen Santana and Ford Versailles. .
