Browsing car related sites for cool cars, I found nothing less than a 1972 Chevrolet Veraneio, a genuine Brazilian made Chevy, in Maine!!!! Now, how did she get there? Looking at the pictures I noticed a recent Brazilian fire extinguisher, and the tiny VW specific fake whitewall on the tires. The tires are also recent, and also Brazilian made Pirelli Sempione in 7,10X15 size, bias ply. A tire Pirelli still makes for the classic car and truck market. The model for sale in Maine is a Standard Veraneio, without power steering, or vinyl roof, or full wheel covers. On the ad, they say "possibly the best one" Nope, not even close to being the best one. Even the '73 Veraneio Deluxo I had was better, as almost all the paint was still factory. Only the top section of the front doors had being painted in the '80s as my dad had huge mirrors on her to haul a trailer. The paint changed color on the touched up places over the years, but the rest was all GM. Sold her in 2005 to get a Galaxie. The stereo is not original, as it's a period correct accessory. Original equipment would be a Motorradio GM labeled AM/FM radio.
