You live near Havana in early 1962 and you need a used American car that’ll keep you on the road through the embargo. What are you buying?

Let’s go Edsel!!!!
Something that I can easily turn into a watercraft to get to Florida
The 40? Ford. Flatheads were still somewhat abundant and easy to work on.
The ford will have the best parts availability considering the farming branch and mercury cross-compatability. Im thinking industrial parts and boat powerplants.
I would agree the others that the ford flathead had plenty of availability. Then, I definitely would have said ford. Now, I would go with the 1/2 ton.
I will buy a ticket and board on one of the flights to the U.S..
probably an International Harvester M62 5-ton 6×6 with attached 20,000lb telescoping crane and 45,000lb winch instead of the listed options
