Volkswagen Brasília (1974), Hachette, 1:24, Yellow

The Volkswagen Brasília, introduced in 1973 and produced primarily for the South American market, was Volkswagen’s answer to regional demand for a durable, affordable, and versatile family car. Built on the reliable Beetle platform but featuring a more practical hatchback body, the 1974 Brasília quickly became a favorite across Brazil and beyond.

This 1:24 scale die-cast model by Hachette captures the spirit of the 1974 VW Brasília in a cheerful yellow finish, showcasing its angular bodywork, simple chrome trim, and utilitarian charm. Details include rear-mounted air-cooled engine cues, distinctive headlamp design, and a clean, minimalist interior faithful to the era.

For collectors of classic Volkswagens, Latin American automotive history, or fans of functional design with character, this Brasília is a standout piece. It represents a unique moment in VW’s global story — where regional adaptation met enduring engineering.
