New ford models

Just the same capri my car had. remembered those days when i was 14 enjoying such stuff together with the jukebox time. memorable yet now being an old school boy doesn't have to drive such machine. There is a campaign in some countries like US about junks for their old vehicles just to save money on the labor as well as the materials being used and i guess they belonged to such place.

The Peugeot 504 would be perfect for export to Africa.

Satyricon84 · September 20th, 2012, 10:49 AM

It would be perfect to export to my home too and be restored!! Such car deserves a new life!

I remember that our neighbours had a 504 in the 1970's so I rode in the backseat of a 504 a couple of times.

Today this is a extremely rare car compared to other 70's cars, mostly because of poor protection of corrosion.

In french speaking Africa this car is still very popular and they pay well even for wrecks, only the engine has to work. Brakes are not compulsary

A nice find in São Paulo

Citroen XM, probably 1992 or 1993. Even with vegetation growing underneath.

Interesting. I did not know that Citroen was a popular brand in Brazil.

XM & older C5 are cars that rapidly disappear from the roads. In the 90's the XMs were quite popular in Sweden, but electrical failures, broken cambelts, clutch and gearbox problems moved them to the scrapyards.

Well after 2000, they started becoming popular, because Citroen started producing cars in Brazil, although the Xsara was pretty popular in the 90s for an imported car.

In the 1990s Citroens such as the XM were quite rare, and very expensive. The XM was certainly an upper-class executive car, not for middle class people, it was an exclusive status symbol.

That's why finding one rotting in the street today is even funnier.

Today Citroen produces C3, C4 and Xsara Picasso in Brazil.

This is the largest Citroen produced in Brazil, the C4 Pallas

xrtn2 · April 3rd, 2013, 04:35 PM

C4 is Argentine.

Today Citroen produces C3, C3 Picasso in brazil.

NordikNerd · April 3rd, 2013, 06:40 PM

I never saw a C4 Sedan, only hatchbacks. The "Pallas" is not available in Sweden. Sedans are not very popular here, people prefer hatchbacks and station wagons. This name "Pallas" used to be associated with the luxury version of the old CX.

Citroen is not very popular in Brasil, 2,5 to 3% of the market, nevertheless its the 8th in ranking.
Those 90's models are very rare, most of them had the same destination as in your country.
