👉Ford Model Y
➡️Introduction:
- The Model Y was the first Ford car specifically designed for markets outside the United States.
- It replaced the Model A in Europe.
- Available body styles included 2-door saloon, 4-door saloon, 2-door estate, 2-door van, and 2-door pickup.
- Powered by a 933 cc (56.9 cu in) 8 (RAC)hp Ford sidevalve engine.
➡️Production Locations:
- Produced in England (known as the “Ford Eight”), France (as the Ford 6 CV), and Germany (as the Ford Köln).
- Smaller numbers assembled in Australia, Ireland (branded as the Baby Ford), Japan, Latvia (branded as the Ford Junior), and Spain (nicknamed the Ford Forito).
➡️Affordability:
- The Model Y was built to a single specification called the Popular, which allowed increased production and decreased costs.
- In June 1935, Ford announced that the Popular Tudor model would be sold for just £100, a groundbreaking price for a four-seater closed-bodied saloon car in Britain.
