During a two-week trip to Argentina, I managed to see several interesting cars, but thanks to the rate of attrition, I didn’t see much. While writing about my finds in Buenos Aires and Tucuman, I scoured the Internet for help with model years, as sometimes cars are better determined by generations. That’s how I encountered this Flickr page hosted by “Michael.” It’s a goldmine of images of Argentinean vehicles.

Here’s how the Ford Falcon started in Argentina. For 1962, it doesn’t look all that much different from what we had in America.

Though a redesigned Falcon appeared for 1964, Argentina continued to use the first-generation shell through 1991. This ’66 features a grille design that one likely didn’t find around Dearborn.

This is true for 1970 as well for standard Falcons.

However, Falcon Deluxe and Futura models came with quad headlights for 1970. This ad is from 1972.

For 1973, the Falcon received a modern facelift, with a Ranchero variant joining the sedan and wagon. Fancier models looked like this.

Standard and Ranchero models retained dual headlights through 1981. This is a ’78 Ranchero.

For the fancier models, Ford adopted flush headlamps for 1978. Note the taillights.

The same front-end design, aside from the grilles, would continue through the Falcon’s demise, though the taillights would ditch Ford’s classic round (or round-esque) design for 1983.

If those taillights look familiar, it’s because they were used on the Ford Taunus that was produced from 1980-84.

The previous-generation Taunus, produced from 1974-79 (though available in Europe from the fall of 1970 to 1975), looked like this. This is a 1976 ad.

Ford Argentina also produced several derivatives of the 1968 Fairlane/Torino. This car was produced from 1969-73; for 1974-81, the 1969 version (with a different grille and taillights) was produced. They were available as Fairlane de Luxe, Fairlane 500, and Fairlane LTD sedans. Power came from a 221ci six-cylinder or 292 Y-block V-8.
