context_page_description: The Ford Taunus G93A is a small family car that was produced by Ford Germany between 1939 and 1942 in succession to the Ford Eifel. It was the first car developed at Cologne by Ford Germany which previously had built cars originated by Ford businesses in the US or the UK. Production began on 30 April 1939, with the first car exhibited to the public in June 1939, less than six months before the outbreak of war in Europe.
  In 1948 the car reappeared as the Ford Taunus G73A, and remained in production until 1952. This was the first Ford Taunus to feature a fastback shape: in this application the rather severe slopes enforced by squeezing North-American style fast-back styling onto a relatively short wheelbase was not universally admired: the car became known as the "Buckeltaunus".

  In 1948 the car reappeared as the Ford Taunus G73A, and remained in production until 1952.  This was the first (and until the 1970s the last) Ford Taunus to feature a fastback shape: in this application the rather severe slopes enforced by squeezing North-American style fast-back styling onto a relatively short wheelbase was not universally admired:  the car became known as the "Buckeltaunus" (Hunchback Taunus).
caption: The US-style fast back form of the Taunus called for a longer wheelbase than the car's position in the market could justify. The result was a car which acquired the soubriquet "Buckeltaunus" (Hunchback Taunus).
