The tail reminds Ford Fairlane, but that's not a great deal.  Is it a one-off custom?

I think Fabrizio is on the trail.

I remember this photo from decades ago but cannot find it again.
Maybe a Willys do Brasil 1956 Ford knockoff??

I don't know that it has anything to do with the Ford Fairlane and to be honest I have no idea how many were made; I don't think it was a custom one-off.

It isn't a Willys, no, but you're just about there with the date.

I remember seeing in an old article in an old friends magazine, It was called AJR, I believe It came from Argentina?

That's it, yes.
I'd love to see other photos of it if you or anyone has any to post?

Thanks for that.
Colours sound quite exciting (gold and dark pink perhaps would conjure up a better image!) and not unlike many colours offered on US barges of the late 1950s.
When they say it's loaded with chrome, reminiscent of mid-60's American cars I think they're out by 10 years; more like 2nd half of the 1950s I would say.
I was going to add that it was powered by a 1928 Chevrolet engine but the article says it for me!
