Model history

The Ford Taunus P3, also known as the bathtub, was produced by Ford Germany from 1960 to 1964. This model was part of the third generation of the Taunus series and followed the P2. The P3 was the first model in the Taunus series with a self-supporting body, which led to its characteristic design with rounded lines. With different body variants such as a saloon, estate and even a convertible, the Taunus P3 offered a wide choice for customers and is an interesting part of German automotive history.
