Dan, I sent you an email offering to look through my records for a photo from Jamiaca but in 5 days did not receive a reply , so I did not go further. Having now seen finally you have received some replies I looked further and here are 2 photo's from Jamiaca in 1915. One thing I also found was mention from Ford Canada that they included Jamiaca in an article on their world wide sales to overseas countries.
These photo's show the Model T's were RHD so its more than likely Ford Canada supplied Jamiaca ( though Ford USA also made RHD versions so they may have been from there also) Canada was very organised shipping wise having a good set up for crating the Ford overseas. There is also mention that the first Ford went to Jamiaca in 1910 and by 1915 one new Ford was arriving in Jamiaca every week.
