NEH 1856 - Luigi I from Brazil
« 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?

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.

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.
