    Most likely, would have 'Ford, Marina :eek: , Cork' on the chassis plate and the glass would have some Irish co. mark on it as well .

    they tended to engrave the chassis plates rather than stamp them.

    A popular anecdote about Fords, one fella thieved so many parts off the assembly line...he would start up if he received a kick up the backside.
