Classic car exhibitions and history in Brazil

Overview

Various classic car events and historical automotive milestones have been highlighted in Brazil. In early October, exhibitions were scheduled in Aurora, Santa Catarina, and Curitiba, featuring vintage vehicle displays, live music, and local gastronomy.

Later reports noted specific vehicle celebrations, such as the 70th anniversary of 1956 models like the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, the Mercury Montclair, and the Pontiac Star Chief at a show in Balneário Camboriú. These displays coincided with reflections on the 70th anniversary of the Brazilian government’s establishment of the Executive Group for the Automotive Industry (GEIA) and the founding of the National Association of Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea). Additionally, a 1971 Ford Galaxie 500 was recovered and underwent restoration in Novo Hamburgo after being stored unused for 17 years.
