Em junho de 2001, com 23<br />

anos de idade, comprei o<br />

meu primeiro Maverick<br />

com todas as minhas<br />

economias”<br />

André Luiz Allegretti<br />

outros 3 Mavericks da família. E é o de maior uso no momento.<br />

Não importa se o motor é de 4, 6 ou 8 cilindros,<br />

o que importa é a história por trás de cada Maverick, o<br />

saudosismo das pessoas quando desfilamos pelas ruas, o<br />

interesse dos outros em ajudar na estrada quando ocorre<br />

um imprevisto e a família que está reunida como se fosse<br />

em um jantar”, valoriza.<br />

MAVERICK CLUBE<br />

Toda paixão pelo modelo Maverick fez com que André<br />

ajudasse a fundar o Maverick Clube de Curitiba, do<br />

qual se despediu da presidência em 2017. Fundado em 4<br />

de dezembro de 1999, o Clube comemorou ano passado,<br />

18 anos de história. “Reunimos em torno de 130 Mavericks<br />

batendo o nosso próprio recorde. Foram mais de<br />

600 pessoas que passaram pelo evento e que puderam<br />

mostrar os seus bólidos, de vários modelos, cores, características<br />

e personalidades diferentes”, conta André.<br />

and with air conditioning, a very rare configuration.<br />

Time passed, André returned with his family to Curitiba<br />

and followed this by attending meetings of Maverick<br />

aficionados, but felt that there was still something<br />

missing to fullfil his desire.<br />

In 2012, a 74, 4-door, 6-cylinder Maverick Super<br />

joined the family. It came from a single owner with the<br />

original receipt, manual and the documentation for<br />

every year. Despite the need to be restored, the car<br />

had a family history, much in line with André’s and the<br />

conditions matched his purchasing power at the time.<br />

“Recently, this car had undergone a partial<br />

restoration and is running very well equal to the other<br />

3 Mavericks in the family. And it is the most used at<br />

the moment. It doesn’t matter if the engine has 4, 6<br />

or 8 cylinders, what matters is the story behind every<br />

Maverick, the nostalgia of the people when we drive<br />

through the streets, the interest of others to help out on<br />

the road when an unforeseen breakdown occurs, where<br />

it is just like a coming together for a family dinner,” he<br />

values.<br />

MAVERICK CLUB<br />

All this passion for the Maverick led André to help<br />

found the Maverick Club of Curitiba, in which he left<br />

the Presidency in 2017. It was founded on December<br />

4, 1999, and last year the Club celebrated its 18-year<br />

history. “It was a gathering of around 130 Mavericks,<br />

beating our own previous record. There were more than<br />

600 people who visited the event and showed off their<br />

interest, various models, colors, features and different<br />

personalities,” says André.<br />
