Yes, it's a Hispano Argentina "sedán 6 Cilindros". For those that are curious, the year, which I didn't ask for, is 1938.

Good lookin' ride.
:nod:
This one is also, as far as I know, known as El Redondo.
I think there is an easy answer: they're not the same car at all.
If you look closer you'll see lots of diffrences.
Yes, but as I understand, ftg3plus4 has both cars filed under "Motor Criollo".
Oops! Sorry ftg......... I've read you too fast.
OK, it seems the other car I posted a picture of is a Hispano Argentina "sedán 4 Cilindros".
The Georgano encyclopedia mentions a make of "Motor Criollo" (1938) and says it was started by a Carlos Ballester Molina. Some Spanish-language pages where I see the Hispano Argentina cars pictured mention this guy's name and use the phrase "Motor Criollo," but they don't seem to apply that name to the cars like I thought they did. I wonder if the encyclopedia got something mixed up, and gave a make name that wasn't really a make name.
Well, my Spanish is not great, but afaik "criollo" in Latin America means "local" or "native".
Who knows those cars?
I'm sorry.

I´ve got to admit that this was the only one I did not cross-check.
:bag:
Well, may one Administrator please merge both...
Done.

I believe it relates to a diesel engine.
It doesn't have really big windows.
Where and when was it built, and by whom?
Argentine Hispano-Argentina El Redondo from 1938?
Well done and quick done. It's time you reached expert status, you're just too fast for me ;) Even if some sources also speak of 1940: here is your next point.
Double repost, merged
I used "Search" before posting.
Probably the old hyphen problem, a search for "Hispano-Argentina" won't find you a "Hispano Argentina".
Yes, that's it.
