What's really fun is to watch Brazilian and South African movies.

There's at least one "odd" bus in one of "The Gods Must be Crazy" movies.

I rented a video called "Erotique" (rated R, okay?) which was kind of a "Red
Shoe Diaries" type anthology.

One of the four short stories takes place in Brazil, largely aboard a train
(another of my interests).  At one point the train stops, and at the road
crossing is a VW ambulance:

Bay window cab,
Split screen Kombi sides (three square windows).

In another later scene there's a rear view of another bus:

Narrow tailgate,
Wrap-around rear quarter windows,
'72-'79 sized taillights,
bumper overriders.

'Course there's the usual number of VW Fox vehicles as well - but I didn't see
any "Brasilias".
