It's a Ford. But is it German or French? |
|

German, surely. Why would a movie made in Hamburg use a French Ford? And didn't Poissy favour split windscreens at the time? |
|

OK, it's just because I knew this front only as French Fords. |

It is a Ford V3000S [G328]. The larger lights make it a post-war (1948) version, which was later renamed 'Rhein' (V8 cylinder) or 'Ruhr' (4 cylinder). The new design arrived in 1951. |

The plate is from the first series in 1956, a bit modified for the movie (orignally PLÖ for Plön). |

Mike, I'm sorry, I was wrong about the windscreens ... /vehicle.php?id=110403 ... I was thinking of the French Dinky Toy Ford forward-control truck; I once had the Grands Moulins de Paris version ...  |

Pas de problème! It's a pity it's not that easy... Nice to have learned that this Ford model was built in France AND in Germany. Was it built in other countries as well? Maybe even in Holland? |

I can't find any evidence for Holland, although it seems quite probable; [quote from Fordtranscontinental.nl] 'In the years after the 2 nd worldwar a variaty of US, UK and German models were assembled.' Certainly something similar was built in the USA, Canada and Australia, but not to the best of my knowledge in Britain where production of the mechanically similar forward-control 7V Fordson Thames had priority. -- Last edit: 2008-02-06 21:03:26 |

Being a US design it was built, with local variations, in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Romania, Canada, UK and Germany. |
