Shaun;

It depends on what you mean by "produced". Ford had Assembly plants all over the U.S. and many overseas. Most of the parts were produced in the U.S.There were some engine made in Canada and England (English engines had a smaller displacement). There were several assembly plants in Latin America, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Sao Paulo. The Phaeton was second to the Tudor in Foreign production. Also a larger number of the foreign Phaetons went to Latin America as compared to Europe (most likely because of the climate). The yearly totals for Phaetons (foreign production) are

1927 0 units
1928 20921 units
1929 40473 units
1930 23416 units
19316984 units
1932 309 units

I could only find individual production figures for 1928 Phaetons

Buenos Aires2000 units
Mexico City525 units
Sao Paulo 1033 units

This information is found in "Henry's Fabulous Model A" by Floyd Clymer.
