Thanks. The Barn likes pictures. The car is right-hand drive. Was it imported from a Commonwealth country or from South America. Ford opened in 1916 its second factory in Argentina and all cars came out left-hand.

Yes this car was built in Argentina. Says "Indrustria Argentina" on several places on the car. The heads are the easiest to spot, but the key, air cleaner, and gas cap all say the same. My Father in law bought it at a car auction in Rochelle Ill in 1985, but he never did find out when, or how it found its way to the states. Mother in law said before she passed that they were lead to believe that this was the only one like it here in the states. Don't know if that is true or not, but I know that I have never seen a right hand drive one before this one.
