You may know of this Argentina A site but they have a video posted on their home page of an "A" meet that has a lot of good footage. Skip the intro if you want. http://www.clubamigosforda.com.ar/menu_principal.html

Thanks for sharing. Looks like they put a lot of effort into their shows. I didn't realize this amount of Model A's would be in the show. Thanks again

I was driving my Sport Coupe one afternoon and there was a little foreign car with 4 hispanics riding along side of me, looking at my car excitedly and giving me the thumbs up. As we slowed to a stop, the passenger rolled down his window and shouted "We're from Argentina!!". I thought, OK. That's nice. Now I know why they were excited. I never imagined they would have that many (if any) nice Model A's in Argentina.

great video, thanks for posting.

2 questions:

about halfway through, there was a slant windshield closed cab pickup truck.
were these produced by Ford in Argentina or is it home-made?

lots of orange paint jobs- was this an Argentinian color option?

loved the wide-bed AA express truck.

era fashion people were having great fun!

Don't know about the slant windshield truck but the orange paint question is good. My 30 cabriolet came from Argentina and was covered with some of th toughest orange paint I have ever tried to remove. The top paint came off ok but that orange was like another metal skin.

I had a question about the front extention under the radiator on one of the cars. It came out to the front of the frame horns level with the frame rails and had an opening for the crank. Looked nice.
