PFMM Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The Germans used Fords! I never knew. As to the paint job, I like, particularly the tray. Nice wood grain effect. Though more mud on the mudguards would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were (supposedly) nationalized by the Nazis before the war, but, rumor has it, that didn't let Ford and GM stand in the way of making a nice profit out of the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct sir. If memory serves correctly it was one of the only factories still completely intact by war's end. Tschüß!

patboy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 The "Ford Motor Company AG" founded for the German market went into business in Berlin in 1926, purely as an assembly plant. In 1931 it was moved to Köln-Niehl. As of 1935 it's change into an independent German auto manufacturer was completed. The firm's name became "Ford-Werke AG" in 1939. The most important Wehrmacht trucks were the various three-ton types (about 5000) and the halftrack "Maultier" truck (15000).
