PUMA GTE, a photo from Minas Gerais, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Puma is an old Brazilian car manufacturer. Puma designed a new car based on a shortened chassis of the rear-engined, air-cooled 1,500 cc Volkswagen Karmann Ghia sold in Brazil. The design, inspired by the Lamborghini Miura, remained largely unchanged for two decades. The new design with a Volkswagen 1,600 cc engine was named the Puma 1600 GTE. It sold relatively well for a specialist sports car. Puma sold the 1600 GTE starting in 1969 and offered kits to make the engine more powerful.

Lucas, excellent photo report presenting the car manufacturer Puma. That model reminds a Porsche. It is well highlighted by the girl. The car body is shining. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

ikeharel (109504) 2019-11-27 8:34

Both the car and the young model-lady are beautiful, and you got a great smile, Lucas.
I know the VW Ghia - but never saw this type of Brazilian car.
The picture is superbly lit and the car was shining.
Boa tardes,
Ike

Hi dear friend Lucas
A beautiful shot of this classic car and a smiling girl. It is interesting that the picture behind the table is on the girl's arm.

alvaraalto (42642) 2019-11-28 3:15

Hello Lucas,
A beautiful purple car that you don't often see on European roads nowadays.
It is a pity that the lady is a bit in the way. 😉
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hello Lucas,

You found a very nice model together the car, I did not know that Brazil making this type cars.
You create nice depth and perspective.
Also the presence of the people makes your picture very attractive..
But a successful picture.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Lucas,

This is a very stunning car, looking perfectly cared for, judging by its shiny exterior.
I'm not too keen on seeing beautiful ladies used to try to sell cars but in this case, she does add to the fineness of the composition, creating a vertical line in the f/g to link with the vertical in the b/g.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Gosto muito dessas exposiçőes de carros antigos. Recentemente estive em uma no rio de janeiro cada beleza incrível. Trsitemente estava sem a camera somente a do celular e as fotos năo ficaram tăo boas. Irei selecionar algumas para postar aqui.
O sorriso da moça deu um destaque a mais a foto (mas teria brigado com ela se o carro fosse meu kkkk nada de sentar no capô). Sugestăo na foto seria virar a camera um pouquinho para a direita, mas sei que é dificil enquandramento em locais fechados e com outros veículos e pessoas muito próximos.

Abraço

lucas

acho que era esse carro que aparecia na letra dos engenheiros do havaí: ...tinha um puma GT, com vidro fumę..
linda a moça e o carro nessa foto bem composta e perfeita.

abraço

Olá, Lucas!

Carrăo, hein! Tenho a impressăo de que essa vai ser daquelas fotos bem visualizadas da página! Interessante também a nota sobre o carro, eu năo sabia disso. Belo trabalho!

sacimar (38173) 2019-11-30 5:28

Hola Lucas,

esta es una fotografía de anuncio... me gusta la escena con el coche y la mujer, el vehículo es muy llamativo, bien visto y presentado,

Un saludo,

Sergio

Hello Lucas

I`ve never heard of this brand, until now. A splendid shot of this attractive sports car. The smiling girl is a nice addition. Fine work:) TFS.

Greetings, Erling

holmertz (97428) 2019-12-06 12:37

Hello Lucas,
I see this photo is 10 years old. You couldn't take a photo like this today where I live. The car looks great and the girl has a nice smile. But what is she doing here? In any case you handled the light well.
Regards,
Gert

ChrisJ (167068) 2019-12-06 16:54

Hi Lucas,

What a body! So sleek, curvaceous and sexy! Oh the woman at left is not bad either! Good sharpness and nice reflections. Also a nice tribute to Pierre who adores vintage cars. Tfs!

Olá Lucas,

Um "belo carro" este. Só năo gostei da tatuagem na lataria.

Parabéns e abraço,

Ricardo

Hola Lucas
Two very attractive subjects in one photo: the car and the model. The car is now old, maybe sold second hand. But I hope she still has this happy smile ten years on.
Best wishes
Kasia

pierrefonds (108528) 2020-01-15 15:45

Hi Lucas,

You have captured well the smiling expression of the young woman. The point of view is showing the details of the Puma 1600 GTE. The light is making the colors to shine. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hello Lucas,
Nice looking car presented by a nice looking girl, what's not to like? 👍🏻👍🏻

Ola Lucas Sorry for being late to answer to your kind words, I am ayay from home. Which is the nicest; the Puma of the girl
sitting on it! In my opinion, both compose an attractive image captured professionally! Abraços

quovadis (5711) 2020-01-19 0:12

Hi Lucas.

Wow, this sports car truly deserves attention. Must say, I have once or twice read some information about the manufacturer, but it was a very long time ago and long forgotten by now. I wonder what happened to the firm afterwards? I know that the VW Karman Ghia was quite a popular car, I still can see that model in the streets from time to time. But this Puma truly looks awsome, an elegant and well-balanced chassis, seriously competitive with brands like; Porsche or DeTomasso in the '70s.
Thanks for sharing !!!

abmdsudi (92451) 2020-01-25 20:48

Hi Lucas
Like the strong look and styling here; a car as beautiful as your model. Your shooting angle lower then her eyes leaves such a good impact, excellent clean sharp shot. Excellent shot
Best regards

bertolucci (14052) 2020-01-30 1:09

Ola Lucas. Two different kinds of elegance effortlessly combined here :-) The Puma is alas not very well known in Europe. A very well composed and detailed pull from your archives! Parabéns e abraço. Bert
