Post by: @re on November 28, 2007, 08:38:24 AM: Nope, no Chrysler connection as far as I am able to find out.

I can tell you, though, that as far as I know it was only ever offered as a convertible - although I know that at least one car has been retro-fitted with a solid roof.

Maybe there´s a Brit hidden here?

Post by: @re on November 29, 2007, 05:56:20 AM: As you say, it is not an FSO. And it is not British.

Post by: @re on December 14, 2007, 04:40:20 PM: I'm astonished at what you can do with only limited web access. I'll leave this post here for now and get back to you with more information on the car when I get back home in a couple of days. But you're quite right - the name Jornada, however, is only the model designation, as far as I can understand. You'll get the point, and I'll fill you in later!

Post by: @re on December 17, 2007, 06:19:37 PM: OK - here goes: This is a 1987 Jornada conversivel (convertible) made by a company called N.B.M. (Nasser Brasil Motores). This company did the chassis and the body, which is made of glass fiber. The engine is a 1500 cc Volkswagen.

I know that there is at least one example around that has been converted into a coupe with a fixed roof, but apart from that it appears these cars were only made as convertibles.

That's just about all I know about it... neat car, though :)

Edit: And that one brings Mr. Jaray's total tally to 100 solved puzzles! Congratulations!
