British made 1932: Basically like USA, but has open (no doors) glove compartment on each side. British 1933-4 built 1932 style cars (1932 Fords still being assembled later) had a dash that looked more like '33-4 American, with instruments in front of driver. England also got Canadian (USA style) bodies for models not fully built in England, and I would guess these had normal '32 dashes. Continental Europe got some British built cars and some from USA and Canadian sources too, some imported as complete cars, others assembled from imported parts in several assembly plants. Some assembly operations were very small, and continued to crank out small numbers of '32's for a couple more years. I think Ford Canada, Ford Rouge plant, and Ford of England were only sources of engines, and all other places were wholly or partly just assembly operations in 1932. England made its own style sedan and commercial bodies, Australia made bodies which looked like USA bodies but were structurally different for imported Canadian chassis. Which plants supplied parts to which countries was largely determined by import tax differences. Woudenberg's "Ford in the Thirties" and Thacker's "Deuce" books give some coverage to British built Fords.
