My family has driven german and british fords since the 30's, the first one we ever had was a V3000SSM nazi truck from ford werke AG (ford germany) and we have been happy with them and have never been bothered with them. Unlike my dad who once both a 10 year old pontiac wich we later wrecked and made a brazier out of it. ugly overdimensioned american trash
I had one of the same model. This was during during the late 1960's and it had about seven previous owners. It was built like a tank. We used to visit air shows and six of us would sit on the roof without denting it.
Oh wow! My father had an exact one of these, from 1960 to 1991, It was the 1300th car registered in Greece. I grew up in that car and it was my first solo drive when I was 14 back in 1980. So many memories brought back (even the blown tire !!!!)
Hi .. This clip was taken from a British TV series called The Baron from the 1960's. You can now buy the complete box set. Plenty of info if you do a google search.
Yes indeed in those days the widely held opinion was that the next thing would always be better, and by the '60s a Mk1 Consul just didn't have a value. In reality we have sunk down into a grey poridge of all similar electronic controlled junk where the only reason to buy a particular car over another seems to be to get the cheapest, and designs from the '40 to '70s now stand out as true classics. As a good friend recently commented, 'as a society, we didn't realise when we had peaked'. How true.

The Ford was old then ,dates from around 1951 and was just as ugly
( depending on opinion)as anything being knocked out by Ford in America at the time.

Amongst petrolheads this programme would be called 'a weepie'. Very sad!
