===Ford and Matford=== [[Ford SAF|Automobiles Ford S.A. Française]]'s operations became uneconomic with the sudden erection of tariff barriers in 1932 against imported components, mainly from [[Ford of Britain|Britain]]. Ford and Mathis entered protracted and uncomfortable negotiations. In 1934 a joint venture of Ford and Mathis emerged ([[Matford]] SA Française, Strasbourg). Matford, which copied the style of contemporary British Ford models, soon became one of the biggest competitors - the original Mathis factory closed down in 1935. The last models featured a V-shaped windscreen. Matford ceased production in 1939.
