The first Taunus was released in 1952. Ford turned this rear-wheel drive into a front-wheel drive in 1962, and changed its mind again in 1970 with this generation. The range was topped by this GXL trim (coupe or sedan), with round headlights added to the original rectangle ones. Three engines to choose from: a 1.6 88 hp, a 2.0 V6 90 hp or a 2.3 V6 108 hp.
