Even though we just featured a Brazilian car three weeks ago, we’re going back to South America in honor of the Summer Olympics currently underway in Rio. This week’s Classic Captions Contest features one of Brazil’s most iconic — or perhaps just most original — homegrown vehicle designs. The Gurgel (“goor-JHEL”) G-15L was a forward control pickup based on Volkswagen running gear, but with a monocoque body of plastic and steel composite construction (called, unremarkably, “Plasteel”) that afforded a very utilitarian 1-ton load rating and 37 gallon fuel capacity.
The photo above illustrates the rugged usefulness of the G-15L, while also appealing to the Brazilian cultural affection for the iconic, self-reliant frontier gaucho. What is the Gurgel driver pointing out to his equine-mounted compatriot, and why? You tell us. Click through to leave your snappiest witticism in the comments.

Last week’s Air-Force-themed photo from Dodge was a popular one, and resulted in lots of great comments. Two commenters’ explanations for the airman’s animated gestures tied for top honors. P161911 offered, “So I was driving on the coast, and the next thing I know one of those Navy fly boys is trying to land on the hood of my Dodge! I know the hood is big, but it ain’t a carrier deck!” The other was engineerd, with “I came around her like this and gave her a little maneuver I like to call the ‘royal lancet.’ Too bad she dodged me.”
Nicely done to both of you, gentlemen.
