The Ford Barn

One of the better mechanics in our club has a 28 Phaeton assembled in Argentina that is RHD. He's doing the mechanical for the restoration. It's interesting to see how they put all the linkages together.

I've seen discussions about cars from and still in Argentina. There have been a few South Americans check out the Ford Barn and several re-importers of cars are still around. Many of the old Fords were used well past their normal life time down in the southern and central Americas. You never know what type of repairs you'll find on these cars after so many years of service. There are threads about this on the early V8 side too.

Years ago I remember seeing a 1941 Ford RHD station wagon, it was imported from Europe after WW 2.
