Title: NEH 1856 - Luigi I from Brazil
Post by: Carnut on May 24, 2012, 04:48:32 AM
Who knows what this is?
There's been lots of discussion and rubbish written but who know definitively what it is?

If I remeber correctly it's a Brazilian car with an Italian name...

Found it... I have it as a Luigi II

EDIT:

Thanks for that!
The name Luigi was mentioned (incorrectly spelt..) as one possibility out of the 56 replies but no-one seemed to believe the poster, although the general consensus was that the car was based around a Chevette.  The most popular opinion was that it was a modified Puma, which of course the body may well be..

I think this one should be the 'Luigi I' and should remain a separate puzzle.
I'm sure our Brazilian friends will shed a light.

Er, yes - give me chance!
1 point awarded to PJ for his correct identification of this rather attractive car.

I had already changed the title. Your modification eliminates the chance of mistaking this with other Luigi I automobiles. You know, like the Luigi I's from Tibet, and Indonesia.

Right.. or indeed those well-known ones from Turkmenistan and Mongolia...
