Who built this car? When? What was the engine, it used? There's a point waiting for you!

Ford based and from Argentina?

Yes, from Argentina, not Ford based

1928 Chevrolet four? I'm not very good at racing cars and they were all very much alike, but I do know it can't be a Chevrolet six because the exhaust is on the wrong side so it can't be Fangio's Wayne-Volpi-Chevrolet.

nothing to do with Chevy

I think that's Clemar Bucci in his Formula Libre special with Cadillac V16 engine.

pnegyesi · July 21, 2013, 09:43:18 AM

And you are right!

Sorry, I didn't name the date. I've only just noticed that part of your question - the picture I found of the car was winning the GP of Buenos Aires on 15.2.47.

I have found this picture of what I think is the same car - my Spanish is too poor to translate the caption but I believe the car is either a restoration or a recreation. It's titled as a Baquet Cadillac.
