The Candango (ex DKW-Vemag jipe), was made by Vemag - Veiculos e Maquina Agricolas (near vehicles and farm machines), a joint venture with Auto Union - DKW and 2 other German groups. In 1967, the Vemag was sold to VW group, and all models (DKW sedan and station) was finished.
The passenger cars was very popular. But, the Candango (maybe low power
or no traditional 4x4 company), had little success. Remember, in
Brazil, the most popular off-road vehicle is the VW Sedan and Willys Jeep.
A rare car - a few years ago (1989) I saw only one in action (a 4x4 model).
