Not necessarily a Ford but I found it funny..

 

Thank God our parents used the wind wings when they smoked while driving. Neither one smoked much but it probably saved some time for my brother and me. Neither of us smoke…he’s 78 and I’m 77..

 

My folks used them and I personally used wind wings, for my smoking too, from 15 to 29. I'll be 77 in Nov.

I'd never be able to start smoke again now since cars don't have them any more

 

German Taurus??

 

Taunus. Appears to be a '59 model.

Here is a front view so I can get the spelling correct. TAUNUS. OOPS! I had to edit my post above! Tom Dobbs wins the spelling bee!

 

This one is identified as a 1958 Taunus M17.

 

Looks like a scaled down '55/'56

 

Fireball Roberts.
