Possible debate over model origin for these? They were certainly designed in Dearborn but were a non-USA model though. |

Yes, there might be an argument for US origin. Otherwise it might be necessary to decide where the car was built or assembled, and in non-car-building countries that would be impossible. Wikipedia says, for what it's worth: The Model Y is the first Ford specifically designed for markets outside the United States of America, replacing the Model A in Europe. The car was powered by a 933 cc, 8 (RAC)hp Ford Sidevalve engine, and was in production in England from 1932 until September 1937,[1] in France (where it was known as the Ford 6 CV) from 1932 to 1934 and in Germany as the Ford Köln from 1933 to 1936. Smaller numbers were also assembled in Australia (where even a coupé version was produced), Japan, Latvia (branded as the Ford Junior) and in Spain (branded as the Ford Forito). There were detail differences between the various Ford factories' products. |
