I had the pleasure of seeing what had to the last of the new Brazilian beetles coming through on a car carrier. Where they were headed is unknown. But they couldn't be sold here. So I'm sure they were headed to an Eastern sea port. They kept making them there till 1996. Anyways, while driving the big truck I came across a few places of interest to you.
