Hispano Argetina "sedán 6 Cilindros"

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

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´ve got to admit that this was the only one I did not cross-check.

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?

SolanaBogon · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2021, 03:53:32 AM »

Argentine Hispano-Argentina El Redondo from 1938?

sichel · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2021, 04:57:27 AM »

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.

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2021, 05:26:18 AM »

Double repost, merged

sichel · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2021, 05:38:10 AM »

I used "Search" before posting.

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2021, 06:56:36 AM »

Probably the old hyphen problem, a search for "Hispano-Argentina" won't find you a "Hispano Argentina".

sichel · « **Reply #21 on:** August 11, 2021, 07:05:36 AM »

Yes, that's it.
