Re: Ford dealership in Panambi, RS, Brazil
Nice pics John. Sure's a lotta kids in the top one...hope it don't mean "child labor"!!
The shop pic is interesting in that it also has German on the signs. No entry, no smoking, maybe they knew something about Hitler planning on a visit down the road?

The building has a Bavarian look to it. Notice the order and neatness of the work area.... Maybe the Germans were already there!

Re: Ford dealership in Panambi, RS, Brazil
Indeed they do. They look cool...love the Bavarian architecture. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if some Germans immigrated there even before ol' Hitler screwed up Europe in the 30's & 40's.

WWI left Germany in a shambles. Immigration to a non war-scarred country was probably attractive, and dealing Fords was a solid proposition for any ambitious person almost anywhere on earth in those pre-Depression days.

Re: Ford dealership in Panambi, RS, Brazil
Panambi was founded as a German colony in the 1800s. It’s original name was Neu Wurttemburg (and the name at the time of the photos).
The sign on the T wagon reads “3,360 kilos transported from Belizario to Neu Wurttemburg”.
Local company Kepler started off making carts and truck bodies so it’s possibly a Kepler rig on the Model T.

Interesting creeper in the foreground. I guess the hydraulic press is setup for removing the gears off axle shafts.
