Sugar Loaf in 1972 / Pão de Açúcar em 1972

Here, some photos of the first remodeling of the cable car, completed in 1972. The project of the new cable car and its two stations took two years to finish and spent millions of dollars, but it was worthwhile, as the new cable was able to transport more people and the clean and modern design, with many glass, permitted to see the breathtaking landscapes in more detail!

Aqui estão algumas fotos da primeira reforma do bondinho, em 1912. O projeto do novo bondinho e das suas duas estações levaram dois anos e alguns milhões de dólares para ficarem prontos, mas valeu a pena pois o novo bondinho permitiu que transportar mais pessoas e o seu design mais clean e moderno, com bastante vidro, permitiu que se visse as deslumbrantes paisagens com mais detalhes!

There is a biog difference between 1912, 1972 and 2008. All I can say is that you have an amazing town.
