Ford Falcon, Buenos Aires

A Ford Falcon on the road in near Tigre. The Ford Falcon is a very popular car in Buenos Aires--and possibly all of Argentina. Because of the great cost of importing cars and parts it is very expensive to own an automobile. So, as in Cuba, citizens keeps their cars running by any means possible. You see old cars all over the place.

American Airlines owns a regional carrier called "American Eagle." Because of this and because of the abundance of Ford Falcons, I was amused to find the offices of the ironically named American Falcon Airlines in Buenos Aires.
