More Cortina Mk1 tail lights!  Ford could have made a living just out of selling those..!
What is this car and where was it built - for 1 point?:

It's Olds-based yet, though not sure of the year.
But it's not from Cuba or South America.
Let's see if you can post a picture of the front but of course you'd need to find the right car first!  Locked for you to try.

Pretty sure it's a '51 88 judging by the chrome low down , originally built in USA , modified in Europe ,perhaps Turkey ?

It's an Oldsmobile 88 (originally a sedan) with a Mercedes diesel engine, converted in Portugal.
