Durban plate. Some unknowns about ZA Galaxies - this is my filleted version of Rhodesia info from here (2015-03-02 entry)
dsl wrote can now add info from World Car Catalogue 1967, which lists Rhodesian assembly of:
- CDN Ford cars - Falcon
- US Ford (includes Lincoln and Mercury in general section heading) - listed but no model names given so I'm not taking it as solid reference

So across all the evidence so far, we have now definite assembly during 1961-67 of:
- Fairlane and Falcon (unclear which types/models but seems 61+ including [XK] and 64+; my guess is that these may have been co-ordinated with whatever Ford ZA was doing rather than directly US derived; by 1968 these were CDN-supplied, not US which would provide Commonwealth tariff reductions/exemptions)

Availability of, but without strong confirmation for assembly:
- assorted end-50s/early-60s US models - eg Custom, Galaxie, Edsel Corsair, Starliner


So it's up for grabs where this might have been built, particularly as this film has 2 of them looking like brand new product placement.
