DynaMike ◊ 2008-01-08 11:51	Ah, of course: Buenos Aires... AFAIK there was no Isetta production in Argentina, and I think the Brasilian Romi Isetta always used the old windows. So this should be a German built Isetta for RA.

Most of them were imported into Argentina only in 1958. In fact the image is the 9 de Julio Avenue in the Center of Buenos Aires, it runs from North to South and the picture was taken looking to the South. This avenue has changed a lot since the Sixties. The building behind the Obelisk is the Ministry of Public Works. Best regards, Ernesto. -- Last edit: 2009-07-23 21:29:07
