Additionally, the European companies often used different model designations than what we were used to in the US. We tend to ID Fords by model year and series (Standard/Deluxe etc.) rather than by the numerical system used in Europe.Bill

No, Ford had an engineering code system that was used across all Ford subsidiaries. When you say "We", you mean the general US motoring public. Ford US did use alpha-numerical codes like 48A to describe 1935 passenger car, or 91T for a 1939 2 ton truck. This system was followed by other Ford plants in other countries, with a prefix to denote country of manufacture.
