A slightly more challenging one to get the right model on this 'beauty'!

Thanks,

This one was more difficult than last week's but I got it.

That was my intention

[Ace-Garageguy]

Though it resembles many similar vehicles of the general period, I've never seen one. Guess I'll have to sit this one out and be surprised. 

[DonW]

I just tried again - apparently I was close but no cigar!

 

[bobthehobbyguy]

Didn't have a clue. No impressions to base a search. Interested in seeing what it was.

[blunc]

my initial impression was incorrect...as it seems to have happened to a few.

but...I did find it after changing some search parameters.

I'm a moron.

I must have seen dozens of those, but never really noticed them. And all the time as I kept thinking to myself "it sure looks like a Ford somethingorother", I even looked at the Taunus 12M, but I didn't think to look at the 15M (the 12 is very similar, but lacks the stamped indentation down the body sides).

Doh.

Good job stumping the chump.

my first thought was Ford Cortina, when that didn't match I went to another continent.  

 

[DonW]

It looks like a 20M too which was my first guess. I bet the first owner wore flares and a kipper tie with matching sideburns...
