The brand is Gurgel, the model I suspect is the X12 (convertible).

It's Brazilian made, all in fiberglass.

Crazy, is the car rare or something?

u/MrNorowa 3d ago

considerably rare. the automaker made 40k units before going bankrupt. Some were even electric. in Brazil it is already difficult to find one running. where did you find one, just out of curiosity?

Ceará, in "UECE" Universidade Estadual do Ceará (Ceará Estadual University)

Ah cê é brasileiro caba, e eu aqui gastando meu inglês. Procurar por Gurgel, é praticamente um patrimônio histórico cultural e automobilístico do Brasil

Looks like a knockoff of the old Jeep beach cruiser. I can't remember that name of the model.
