Title: Willys Interlagos from Brazil
Post by: Gordie on December 12, 2017, 02:35:33 PM

In about 1963 Willys of Brazil offered a good looking coupe called the Interlagos.  I wonder if any of those cars ever made it to the United States?  A model company named Atlas offers a 1:43 scale model of it and they are available on line for about $15.00.  It would be nice to see a real one.  Maybe you Willys guys are aware of it.

Very interesting. Here is a link that gives much more technical information (that I "assume" is correct but you never know): https://www.hemmings.com/magazine/hmn/2013/12/1966-Willys-Interlagos-Berlinette/3733111.html (https://www.hemmings.com/magazine/hmn/2013/12/1966-Willys-Interlagos-Berlinette/3733111.html)

Also here is what may be the same car as custom linked us to, but on Bring a Trailer: https://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/15/brazilian-alpine-1962-willys-interlagos-sold-new-in-the-us/ (https://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/15/brazilian-alpine-1962-willys-interlagos-sold-new-in-the-us/)

They used Renault engines.......that's what I went looking for when I found these links.

Thanks,  that is great information!  Maybe we will get to see one at a K-F W convention in the future.

Last I knew, Tom Null in North Hollywood had one.
