All these Taunuses are from the local production? |

Very difficult to say. As I know, there weren't any visible differences between the German and the Belgian assembled Fords. |

Yes, but as it is before the times of the unfortunate thing known as single European market, maybe they had only these local made cars? I asked, because I wasn't sure since when exactly Ford built its cars in Belgium. I guess, that at least some of visible in this film Opels can be also "Belgian". -- Last edit: 2009-05-24 01:27:18 |

But even before the single European market, there were many cars im- and exported between the countries. So not all Belgian assembled cars (Ford, VW or Opel for example) were sold only there or in the Benelux-countries. And there were also German made cars sold there, even if they had a production-line there. I think, the majority stayed, where they were made, but definetely not all. It depended on local laws and tax-rules. Every country had own rules - and they were changed quite often. Posted before, but this was nearly the best overview of Belgian made cars in the history: http://www.icmesa.com/tinhunter/Houthalen/THAHouthalen.htm -- Last edit: 2009-05-24 01:37:31 |

This is what I knew that there was export/import, but since they had their own plant, for me the most possible is that this is local made car. It is for me a surprise that they still imported cars which they also made. Anyway, as you wrote generally the majority of such production stayed "at home", so I would risk here. -- Last edit: 2009-05-24 01:48:50 |
