The Ford Koln was a version of the English Model Y with the small English engine. Later came the Eifel and the Taunus.

The first Taunus looked like a little Lincoln Zephyr and had the small English engine. The Taunus had various updates and used the small English 4 banger until about 1962.

Germany made its own V8s. These do fit into the Fordbarn Early V8 Forum, but when they are talked about, they are considered to be unusual and oddball. They would be right at home in the new forum.
Germany kept on making their own version of the BB truck after 1932.

These do not fit into the Fordbarn forums. The BB engine was redesigned in Germany as the G28T and used in trucks until the 1950s.

Some of these trucks have been preserved, but they do not fit into the Fordbarn categories and nobody talks about them on Fordbarn.
Ford of Germany has its own fascinating Flathead era history which is largely out of the range of the present Fordbarn forums. We really do need the new forum, Non US Ford Based Flathead Era
