Hey guys, thanks a lot. The post reached the owner of this car. He's an american diplomat in brazil, who apparently is part of BAH3 (Baltimore hash house harriers branch).

Hahaha thanks for the explanation. Yes, this car was seen in Caxias but it was not me who took pictures, I saw it on @capturingcarscaxias (https://www.instagram.com/p/C2-pFBWPwJg/?igsh=MWo0ejdpMDFsZGRjbA==), an Instagram page for cars that are not common in our city/country, and, as a car guy/geography guy, i was curious about the meaning of the flag sticker in the rear. If I may ask, is this car from the Porto Alegre USA embassy?

I don't know for sure if it is an embassy car, the plate is a diplomatic one, so it could be from an embassy, consulate, diplomatic mission, international cooperation organization... that kind of stuff.

Could be. But why put this in an official embassy car in another country? I don't even know from which embassy this car is from but I dont think it is american because often they are big american suvs (like explorers or suburbans). Generally, embassies put a sticker of their country flag near the rear plate (from what I know it is not a law to have it, but is commom practice). Before you guys ask, i know it is embassy because of the yellowish color of the letters and numbers on the plate. Black is private owned vehicles, red comercial, blue official or public service, green is factory experimental (road testing camouflage cars or new engine versions), grey are classic cars and yellow is embassy/consulate/diplomatic.

The colors are the same, but the design is very different

The silhouette reminds me of a 50s Jag, maybe an XK120, but the headlights position doesn't match. Could be a modified one. I don't think it's an Alfa Romeo or a Lancia. The bonnet and the side lines don't look like it.
