I had to look those up, but it appears the Falcon in Germany was based off the Australian Falcon.
No, the picture above is of an Argentinan Falcon from 1991.
Ford Falcon (Argentina) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As you can probably tell, they started with the same model sold in the states, and gradually updated some of the exterior sheetmetal over many decades. In 1991 it was still basically the same car with an ugly grill.
I didn't know it existed until it was featured on Jalopnik the other day. I figured someone else would frequent that site and spot it immediately.
I'll leave it open for whoever wants a go at it. |

Very intelligent guess, but no; this car is SUPER rare!
I'm prepared to drop clues here, and there. Will see, if much interest in future guessing arises.

Rear engine?
Doesn't look German, Italian, or British, but does look European...
How many were built?

It is rear engined, and you have blown through the country of orgin already.
I can't find production #'s, but built from '48-'54.

Then I'd guess it's Italian... Fiat (or Fiat-based)? Or rather FIAT...
