Eduardo Pedrazzini, pictured above in a Ford V-8 is getting the checkered flag at the finish line near Buenos Aires as winner of the 1000-mile Argentine road race, which he drove at the average speed of nearly a mile a minute. His elapsed time over a big circle was 16 hours and 51 minutes. Rules of the race permitted no rest periods for drivers, and Pedrazzini stopped only to refuel. He was followed across the finish line by other Ford V-8 cars in second, third, fourth and fifth places, and six additional Fords were among the 16 cars that finished in the money. Twenty-eight Fords were among the 44 cars that started.
