1969 20M P7b I'd guess. |

Due the double rounded front lamps it's rather a 26 M. -- Last edit: 2010-12-26 22:36:34 |

Were these cars not badged as "Taunus"? There are some listed as "Taunus 12/15/17/20M" but there are also simple "12/15/17/20/26M" cars on this site. |

No, the P7a and P7b weren't named Taunus. It was rahter the predecessor of the Granada, while the smaller Ford's, so 12M, 15M and 17M, were followed by the Taunus [TC1]. O.k., it's not really stringent and logical, what Ford has made back then. In the 50ies 12M was the basic and smallest version, the 15M had the same body, but a better interior and a stronger engine. In 1957 there was coming the 17M [P2] with a bigger body (but its basic "poverty special" -as dsl says- version was also a 15M. The smaller 12M remained in production, the 15M with this body-size was dropped. The [P4] ws only sold as 12M. The 15M came back in 1967, as the higher trim-lever of the [P6] (the basic one was still 12M). The [P3] was only available as 17M, it's successor, the [P5] as 17M and the sixcylinder 20M. Same with the next successor, the P7. The 26M had a better equipment than the 20 M -only P7b, not P7a- and the 2.6 liter-engine. The Escort I was the successor of the [P6] (12M and 15M), the Taunus [TC1] of the [P7b] (17M, and 20M], while the Granada followed the 26M [P7b] (but also the 20M-version). to add something more odd: Granada I and the 1977+ Granada II were also available with the ancient 1.7 liter V4-engine of the 17M ![]() |
