The P5 is a true masterpiece.
The Taunus P5 represents the fifth generation of the Ford works in Cologne after World War II. This vehicle was manufactured from August 1964 to December 1967. The model designations were Taunus 17M and Taunus 20M. The designation “M” stands for masterpiece. The car was available in a two- or four-door version and as a three- or five-door station wagon with the model name of Tournament. The range of engines extended to V4 engines from 1.5 liters with 44 kW (60 hp) and 1.7 liters with 48 kW (65 hp) or 51.5 kW (70 hp) (17M). The four-cylinder V-cylinder developed by Ford (Marathon designation) has already proven its qualities with a world record marathon. The previous model, the “bathtub” was still on the line of reason. The successor, the P5, the “big tub” was supposed to bring glamor and American flair to the middle class. True to the motto of the economic miracle: “Prosperity for everyone”. The internal code name for the 17M and 20M series, alias lobster and lobster instead of herring, also matched this. Technical director at Ford Jules A. Gutzeit assigned the codenames Languste for the popular, innovative V4 cylinder and Hummer for fine V6 power.
