Founded in 1932 in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, under the name of Rocha Cars, it was a company specialized in modifications, as requested by customers. Working with all makes and types of vehicles soon became a reference in the industry, attracting customers even from other states.
In 1946 the company changed its name to Rocha Motor Company and started producing some prototypes in order to enter the automobile market.
Those are going to be the underpinnings of the first Rocha if I am not mistaken. 36 hp is laughably tiny by today’s standards, but enough for an early post-war people’s car.
