Do the Experts know?

There are two names that pop up when I see that picture.
And they are Bristol and Bertone.
But that would surely be a daft combination.

But it isn't either of them so you don't need to worry!

Related to the large Opels of that era (Kapitän, Admiral, Diplomat)?

Not at all!

Looks like a large Ford?

Wheels look like '70s German Granada.

They are I think but that's not what it is.

gilescooperuk · March 03, 2010, 02:05:07 PM

Based on the MK1 Consol / Granada platform?

guido66 · March 03, 2010, 03:05:31 PM

South American?

This vehicle is from Ford's Ghia Operations division in Turin, Italy. Unfortunately, I do not know its name.

You are right, but I'm afraid I need its name for that point!

So which of the Pro's knows?

Clearly none of them so it's off to the Black Hole with this one...

Ford Ancona (designed by Ghia)?

We've already established that it's a Ford from Ghia's studios, but I'm afraid its name is not 'Ancona'.

SeaLion · October 12, 2010, 02:08:36 AM

Maybe this was meant to be an Australian Ford, perhaps a Falcon/Fairmont Coupé?

Maybe or maybe not, I don't know!
But it did have a specific name and nothing to do with Falcon or Fairmont (don't forget it was based on the European Granada).
