Gary...I think reklus is not the best example of good product. They could look good, but you will find a lot of half ass details in the cars. They had been pumping the brand with a lot of marketing lately thou
Some people complaint about PurSang Bugattis, but between the two, there is a world of difference in quality and reliability.
Pursang make amazing cars.
Back to the question why so many cars in Argentina? In the 30's Argentina was the 5th country in amount of cars in the world. Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Kaiser, had factories there. Lot of unique American and European cars were founded there. Plus, while in the US the races happen in ovals, in Argentina as well as in Europe, they raced in open roads, from town to town, from the early 20's till the 80's in a category later on called TC (Turismo Carretera) were Fangio started. In the Ovals, the Millers were almost impossible to beat. Only the Stud team (do you know anything about it?..heheh) and few others can compete, but on the open road races, you find from a MB SSK to REO, Chrysler, Hudson, etc. Heavy but stronger cars for the open roads..Mainly big straight 8s.
In the 50's, the formula 1 raced there and there were a lot of argentineans racers in the European circuit.
Pagani, De Tomaso, Berta, Fangio...are the product of the deepest passion you can find in the Pampas, only matched by football
