Ford Model Y
In Europe Ford replaced the Model A with its first car styled specifically for non-American markets, the Ford Model Y launched in 1932. The Model Y was designed by Bob Gregorie , a former boat designer who came to Ford at Dearborn in 1932 as a result of the Great Depression, and ironically ended up designing some of Ford's most extravagant cars, including the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr, the 1939 Lincoln Continental, and the 1949 Mercury. Ford's Model Y was given a 933cc sidevalve 8hp engine that continued in production until 1962. Ford France produced the Model Y as the Ford 6 CV and Ford Germany sold it as the Ford Koln. Two door (Tudor) and four door (Fordor) versions were available, and some coachbuilt tourers produced. In October 1933 the Model Y was revised with a longer radiator and a dipped front bumper. Britain offered the Model Y Popular for two years at £100 as the cheapest 4-seater car ever sold. A 5cwt Van version was also available and the Model Y dominated sales of the 8hp British car market. Of 175,000 Model Ys sold from 1932 to 1937, 150,000 were produced in Britain. A bigger 10hp Model C was available, but sold slowly. The Model Y was replaced by the Ford 7Y in 1937
