I am with the US sourced camp for Roadsters body panels . And some if not all of the body panels of the phaetons,. This goes along with David G post .Part of the reason for this is that the tooling for Geelong in 33/34 was sourced through Canada from the parent Co most likely in Detroit and was owned and controlled by them .The projected sales could not justify the great expense of independent tooling just for 4 or 500 cars . So bodes were stamped then sourced through Ford Canada,

It is believed that the Rear Quarters on the Roadster & Coupe were fully imported. These Roadster Rear Quarter Panels were lengthened when used on the coupe, to fit the Coupe with their shorter doors.
