Sept. 30 authorization from the Argentine government to build cars in is given to Fiat Concord.
- 08/04/1960: The new plant in Argentina Fiat subsidiary Concord, located Caseros, produced its first car, a Fiat 600 Concord, identical in all respects to the original Italian. They then created a second production line with capacity for 4,000 copies of the Fiat 1100 D.

Fiat Concord included various Fiat subsidiaries in Argentina. Fiat Ferroviaria built locomotives and rail cars and was an important part of the company. It continued as part of Fiat until 2002, when it was sold to Sergio Taselli and renamed Material Ferroviario S.A. (Materfer). The sale included the brand name of Agritec, which had been used by Fiat on some tractors in Argentina, and also GMD (Grandes Motores Diésel).[1] Materfer today builds locomotives, railcars and buses under the Materfer brand, and tractors, skid-steers and combine harvesters under the Agrinar, Marani and Marani Agrinar brands.
