Yes, built there

Btw: I hope you had a merry Christmas and that the New Year will be just as good!

[Wendax]

Surely had nice Christmas days with both daughters visiting. Hope your festive days have been nice as well.

Not from North America.

Everything was fine with my granddaughter, daughter, son-in-law and his parents.
Now I guess I have to find out which South American country they are looking for ;-)

But it was very well hidden on the internet!
A monoposto with a Ford Flathead V8 R 90/100 hp engine, Ford Toploader 3-speed gearbox and front axle, wheel hubs and anchor plates from a Mercedes 15/70/100 hp.
Built in 1937 by Marczak/Zatuszek in Buenos Aires.
Offered at the 2021 autumn auction in Ladenburg, starting price: €180,000.00.

[Wendax]

Well found! And now I know why I didn't find any useful information online: the description plate in the museum had a typo, Zutuszek instead of Zatuszek.
