Justin,

I know this sounds picky but your car was 'made' in the U.S. / Canada and was assembled in Argentina. Check the engine/frame numbers. The cars built in Canada will have a number starting with CA. For most Model As the frame number is more reliable than the engine number. The frame number is located on the top of the frame near the front seat (left side for left hand drive, I am not sure which side for a right hand drive).I assume that it is a right hand drive, if so you can get help from the Model A owners in New Zealand, South Africa, etc where other right hand drive cars were assembled. There were around 2000 Victorias made for overseas.One note is that most of the cars sent to south america were open cars (hot weather ?) so a Victoria would be rare for south america.Good luck on your project.

Bob
