That's real nice looking and it appears to be in good condition.   If I had one of those, it would be my every day vehicle.  Never saw one of them or even heard of them.

Now I have to add another car to my dream list. Ford should have build and sold those here instead of ''gifting'' that part of the market to GM.

I have read about the  South American Fords, I think they were made in Argentina into the late 70s.
reminds me of the International Travelall. Does anybody remember these ?
I like the Design of the IH. Once also had a 62 Scout.

Older brother had one of those big Internationals, really a tank everything super heavy duty. There are all sorts of oddball [to us] vehicles built by the big3 in Central and South America that we will never see. On my first trip to Guatemala years ago found some odd ones. One that I remember well was a GMC passenger van, looked just like what was sold in the states except it was three quarter or so sized. And just as happens in Canada some US cars had different names and trim work.

On one trip we helped push start a 59 Chevrolet hearse, really nothing more than a stretched wagon but obviously a pro conversion. Had to be embarrassing to stall out on its way to the cemetery.
