The conversion of conventional cars into convertible models it is a tradition that defies time.
In the mid-1970s and 1980s, this type of modification was quite common in Brazil, but with the opening of imports in the 1990s, the practice decreased, as vehicles from other countries began to become more accessible.
However, for some companies, such as Swap Cars and Antiques, this market is not dead.
Located in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Trocar has over 30 years of experience in restoration of old cars and in transforming popular models, such as beetle and Celtic, in authentic convertibles.
This tradition that began with the company's founder, Laércio de Almeida, continues alive with the work of his son and Trocar designer, Bruno Bertoli.
With the growing demand, Laércio began to produce convertible Beetles, drawing the attention not only of Campinas residents, but also of other cities.
Over the years, he has improved his techniques and expanded his portfolio to other popular models.
Trocar Autos e Antigos represents much more than a workshop.
It is a bridge to the past, a rescue of a time when cars were more than just means of transport; they were symbols of style, personality and, above all, freedom.
