Which car is this?

Oguerrerob · March 21, 2010, 09:31:22 PM

I'm not sure about this car. The Toyota emblem doesn't match with the car, the rearview mirrors either. I think is someone work over some car in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

You mean you don't think it's a production model Toyota?!

I don't know if it's a Toyota model but that logo was introduced by Toyota in 1989. The rear mirrors look modern to that kind of car.

It´s a car based on Toyota Bandeirantes, the Brazilian version of Land Cruiser. The car was really made in São Paulo, Brazil. The question now is who made it or wich name was given to his creation.

Oguerrerob you are amazing...you can either post some guesses that are totally insane or came up with the right answer in the hardest, deepest, darkest puzzles!

Oguerrerob · January 12, 2011, 12:10:02 PM

jotage21 · January 16, 2011, 05:12:25 PM

sorry, I´ve lost my record about this car, it really is a Toyota Bandeirante, but I´ve lost who made it. Please, could you send the source by PM?

Oguerrerob · January 17, 2011, 10:30:38 AM

Do you receive the email?

jotage21 · January 17, 2011, 02:33:31 PM

it´s only a expression, not the car name. but i think that you deserve a point by find the car nickname "Carro Lata"

jotage21 · February 04, 2011, 12:00:24 PM

Pros

pnegyesi · February 05, 2011, 12:45:37 AM

I don't think it is possible to solve this.
Oguerrerob found the source of your pictures and there's not a word on who made it. It was snapped by the wife of the blog's owner...

jotage21 · February 05, 2011, 04:22:26 PM

I have some info in other place

jotage21 · February 15, 2011, 05:30:25 PM

Yesterday, I´ve seen this car on street, and took some pictures. The most amazing is that it´s not the same one, according to the number plate and frontal grill!

At last!!! I've found it!!
"The retired engineer Ronald Werner not only understands parts, machinery, electrical systems and other devices because of their profession, but also a great craftsman.
And it is this side craftsman, with a little inventor, who made him famous in Brazil because of their works of art made from stainless steel, especially the vehicles .
However, only two of his works can be enjoyed on a daily basis. Resident of Guaruja, São Paulo coast, Werner Toyota Bandeirante has two jeeps with custom body made entirely in stainless steel, which always runs when you need to leave home.
Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, is a mechanical engineer Ronald Werner Institute formed by Nicholas Otto, and began his career at Ford Europe and Magirus-Deutz, and then went to work for five years in Australia and for the same period in the UK. Indeed, it was in the latter he won two awards for sculpture in metal.
Werner ended up coming to Brazil, where he worked at Osram, but always maintained a passion for art in metal. It's in your home that retains all the work done in stainless steel.
Today, at 70, Ronald Werner does it all by myself and creating bodies for utilities provided to sculptures of animals and plants, as can be seen in the images. However, the German engineer spends much time on their work involving vehicles.
Besides the two jeeps, he is building a third. The latter is a convertible-style hot rod. The other two models have different styles, though mounted on the chassis of Toyota Bandeirante years 1995 and 1998.
The oldest is the original style of the Bandeirante, although being made of stainless steel. The model has internal finishing of wood and metal in many details, such as sun visors, for example.
In the back, from the bumpers to the spare tire cover is made of stainless steel. Werner told us that the performance of the vehicle falls under the weight of the body, but you can be used successfully on a daily basis. In fact, he walks with the two cars every day.
The other copy is old style, like a jalopy, and more voluminous and elegant appearance compared to the first jeep. This model even has room for the famous mother of the bank, which holds the spare tire cover.
As in the first, the interior trim is wood. However, the sheet metal of the bodywork, the engineer takes the space with fiberglass to reduce noise and vibration. Among vehicle details, highlight the hubcaps and steering wheel made of stainless steel.
Ronald Werner acquires all the necessary material suppliers of long standing and builds parts using few tools. He told us that in six months, the hot rod convertible stainless steel should already be ready.
As mentioned earlier, Ronald Werner makes other works of art in stainless steel, such as flowers, plants, bird ponds, sculptures of characters like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, fish, bicycles, locomotives, animals, among others."
