Default Re: Model A in Athens Greece

I'm curious if there is a data plate on the cowl under the hood? If so, that might shed some light as to where it was assembled or made.

Some quick research indicates that The Ford Motor Company Export Inc. in Alexandria, Egypt managed Ford products in Greece. The Model A vehicles in Greece were supplied however from the assembly plant in Trieste, Italy. Does anyone have any further insight on this?

Here is the brochure that was given out to introduce the Model A in Greece:




The title reads: "The History of New Ford". The back cover has the Ford oval and written in Greek is: "Ford Motor Company Export, Inc., Alexandria, Egypt.

You may recognize this brochure since it is the same one that was used to introduce the Model A in the USA.....and in most other countries around the world as well with each country's brochures edited in the respective language of that country.

To avoid the custom fees and outrageous shipping fees, why not source the reproduction parts from any one of the other European countries Model A parts vendors. There are Model A parts dealers in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, France, Belgium, etc, etc. The owner could also join one of the many Model A or early Ford clubs in Europe and thus join a network of similar restorers who are able to supply just about any part that he would need.
