The car is probably based upon a Mercedes S / SS / SSK, because the radiator features the two Mercedes stars without the Benz laurel circle.  The body style points towards the early fifties.

SS: yes.
Early 1950s:a little earlier, as the magazine is from 1948

yes! A Mercedes-Benz SS built by Peterson Company to Vincente J. Blomberg. How did you find this? "O Cruzeiro" like me?
