John, you wrote:
"There is also an odd machine which may/may not have had some relevance to
Alfa's extrateritorial car manufacture. An Alfa 1900 Berlina powered by a
non-Alfa engine (Willys? Kaiser-Frazer?) with a non-Alfa name and a non-Alfa
grill superimposed on the intact front sheet metal was assembled in
Argentina. This may have involved some sort of partnership with Alfa (or
with
FNM) or it may have just been reuse of Alfa tooling which had been sold, but
I have no details."

Are you referring to the Fiat 1900, or the Borgward Isabella?  I was a teen
ager at that time, but vaguely remember these cars in Argentina.  There is a
pic. at the Argentine Alfa Romeo Club web site that might illustrate what
you are referring to:
