The "Anasagasti" automobile Model 1911, in service to assist pilots on the runway at the recently created Palomar Air Base. Donated by Mr. Horacio Anasagasti. Caras y Caretas 1913.
Vidal Tempo G-1200
The car is a German Vidal Tempo G 1200 4x4 four-wheels steering, 2cyl engines, 6-volt car battery.
Vidal Tempo G-1200. The tempo series off-road T-1200 (1935) and G-1200 (1936-43) were recognized vehicles of German fabrication. They were also known as Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werke GmbH manufactured in Hamburg. The company was founded by Oscar Vidal. We found this photo and info on Wikipedia. The 3 crowns on the tag appear to indicate that this auto is Swedish.
Much like other commercial prototypes at the end of the 1930s, like the Wanderer W23S militarized as an Kfz11, the Vidal Tempo has a military body but many similarities to the Wanderer, Kfz11/12. The general characteristics were 6 cylinders, flat floor, backseat, trunk, and canvas roof. The beginning of standardization?

New Book: El Mercedes-Benz G en el Ejercito Argentino" The Mercedes-Benz G in the Argentine Army by Gaston Garcia Loperena
Around 1968, the Argentine Army started the replacement of its "Canadian" trucks dating from the Second World War, with the new Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG.
Little more than a decade later, this renewal led to a new lightweight vehicle, the traditional Jeep, which had served so well through the years in a noble and consistent manner. It looked for a successor that, according to the times, will have better habitability, greater load capacity and superior performance in all terrain.To this end, a series of comparative tests were carried out with samples from different origins. A new model, the Mercedes-Benz G, was crowned triumphant and would be incorporated in 1981.
This work, unknown in most of the world, written in Spanish on this timeless emblem of Mercedes-Benz, not only tells the story of the joint marks that gave rise to it, but also its development process, its selection by the army and the details of all the variants used, with the contribution of more than 250 photographs, charts and diagrams. It is a meticulous and solidly documented work. This book is, in short, a well-deserved tribute to the G model and its participation in the Army.
