English: The Ford Motor assembly plant in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Opened in 1922, this was the first plant of the U.S. company in Argentina after arriving to the country in 1913. The production line then moved to Gral. Pacheco in Greater Buenos Aires in 1962, where it still stands (a closer look at the cars shows their radiators are 1924-25 style, with the apron at the bottom of the shell). The facility, located on Wenceslao Villafañe 40, is today property of Víctor Contreras S.A., a tubing and storage tank manufacturer.
