TAR 18 Ep 1 "Head Down and Hold On" (Australia)
Slowhatch:
Mel mentioned in one of the insider videos that the getaway cars had Michigan plates; second season in a row for that.
georgiapeach:
Why would that be?? ???
Prophet:
They were advertising the 2012 Ford Fiestas. They probably got use of them free of charge straight from Detroit as payment for the plug.
theschnauzers:
The Michigan plates would mean that the vehicles were owned by Ford as the manufacturer, and not by a dealer. (The current Ford Motor Company is headquartered in Detroit.)
GM, Ford and Chrysler have changed their form of business entity as a result of their bankrptcy/reorganizations over the last few years. I believe that at least two of them actually are LLC (limited liability companies) and not corporations, IIRC. It's a far different world when those three businesses were known worldwide as "The Big Three."
