I remember from a trip to Argentina, Buenos Aires was loaded with early 60s
Ford Falcons. They were still produced there in the early 90s and maybe later.
 And when I say still produced I mean they were making 1963 Falcons in 1990.
They  updated the grill, bumpers, dash board and tail lights a bit, but it was
 still the 63 body. No planned obsolescence for the Argentineans.

Here are two links from a cursory Google search. The first shows the New
Zealand Falcon--a modern sport coupe-- and the second shows the 1991 Argentinean
Ford Falcon.
