That's not the year I have (but it's very close)

Locked for you to give me what I have here, or prove your answer is correct!

Some sources say 1964 - at any rate, only one Corvair-like prototype was built.

That's what I have.

We've had the two door coupe version before as a puzzle so that is the sum total of this venture's cars featured on this site as far as I know!

Well done on your second point from me today

A Google-translated quote from a source that references the book "Democrata, o carro certo no tempo errado”, by journalist / author Roberto Nasser.

Quote
The first prototype appeared in late 1964. It was the first generation car, a feat, considering that the Democrats never came to be sold in series. Consisting of five cars, it was shown including the President Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco, who appears in photos of Golbery do Couto e Silva, the man who created the SNI (National Information Service). But, so like the car that inspired it, the Chevrolet Corvair, it was shown very little. Nasser also compare the Rumbler, a vehicle of American Motors. In any event, had already served the purpose of showing that the company was indeed able to build cars.
