Old Iron and pearls from the past

Don't know why but, I've got on some kind of Nostalgia from things of my childhood and previous countries. Most of them were sparkled by a game at the web edition of O Globo - a Brazilian Newspapper from my city of Rio de Janeiro. They came out with of some old pics from parts of the city, and you have to guess where they shoot it. Anyway on this same thought some bloggers of the papper, wrote about new and old cars. Some came out of the attic and some childhood memories arose. Cars like the VW SP1-2, Ford Corcel,Chevrollet Opala, DKW (all tipical brazilian ) or the Brasinca, Puma, Santa Matilde - more or less hand made cars. Anyway found some pics on flickr and added to the blog. Enjoy it !
This video (in Portuguese) that compares the Brasinca Uirapuru 4200GT with the Jensen Interceptor. Detail : Uirapuru was made before the Jensen... The other is a Kharman-Ghia 993 RS... Yup  911 GT3 engine on it !
