Interesting cowls
 

While taking apart And converting to 12 Volt And cleaning my Cowl lights
they were stamp make in Japan, not china or Taiwan. I guess they are aftermarket or did Henry outsource Them ? They are stainless & chrome.

Not sure of the political climate with Japan in 28-31. I’d doubt Ford was doing much there in those years and for sure not for a long time thereafter
Mr Henry had some strange alliances and bents however.

The Yokohama Japan plant started producing Model A's in Nov 1928 and stopped in June of 1932.

Total production was somewhere around 15,600 cars during that time.
