Tried to get it a bit bigger, but cannot see any obvious Fords present. Mostly French/ European vehicles which would be expected. Countries like France & Germany etc had fiercely protected local manufacturers & placed high tariffs on 'foreign'cars, making even a humble Ford more expensive than the local makes. The Fords that were sold there also had to have as much local content as possible & not be just a straight import.
Cheers - Tom in NZ.

Most of the technology in a Ford came from France and Germany.

.....well, not "made" but rather assembled in France (Asnières) from imported parts .....and starting in 1930 from a few locally sourced parts.

It even states that on the Ford emblem on the French assembled Model 's.
