Why do Yanks drive on the right handside with steering wheel on left?

It isn't about a vehicle being "american" or not. It's about which side of the road the vehicle is expected to be driven on. You can find right-drive Fords just as you can find left-drive Jaguars.
Steering wheel placement aims to put the driver closer to the middle of the road. Some countries decided differently WRT which side of the road to drive on. Cars made to be used in right-side-traffic have the steering wheels to the left, while cars made to be used in left side traffic have the steering wheel to the right.

Mainland Europe use right-side traffic, and almost all cars there are built with left-side steering. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales use left-side traffic and almost all cars there are built with right-side steering
