International Harvester Sightliner...

In Argentina at least, and probably in the rest of Latin America, Bibendum is a common sight as truck decoration or mascots, mounted on the rearview mirrors...

I’m from Argentina and I know how stereotype, misinformation and prejudice can be very hard to get rid of.
