User:Panchovillastan/Ford Falcon (Argentina)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The robust Ford Falcons became popular as black and yellow taxi cabs and white and blue police vehicles. They also had a more sinister connotation, with the dark green painted Falcons used by paramilitary government forces like the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance death squads of the 1970s and the secret police of the military junta.The Ford Falcons used by the military were obtained through illegitimate means by people contracted outside of the military.[1] The Ford Falcons would be repainted and had their license plates replaced in order to deliver the cars to the paramilitary government forces that used the vehicles for their clandestine operations during the Dirty War.[2]
