Basis of Corcel and Del Rey

The Ford Corcel, Ford Corcel II and Ford Del-Rey are very different cars... Corcel 1 is based on Renault 12 Corcel 2 is based on Ford Taunus, but the CHT engine based on the Renault Ventoux engine. Del Rey is a bigger Corcel 2 made to replace the Galaxie. As soon as i have time, i´ll sect the article into "generations". Atriel 02:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NO!! Corcel I, Corcel II and Del Rey are basically the same car, just reworked and rebodied. They all are based on the French Renault 12. Do not mix it up: at the same time, the Ford Taunus TC was produced in Argentina. Similar in size, completely different in construction. The Mercosur did not exist yet; the Brasilian and the Argentinian economy were completely seperated. OnkelFordTaunus (talk) 23:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FWD

Was it the first FWD Ford in history ?Hektor (talk) 16:29, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good question; Couldn't find earlier FWD Ford, but then, technically, it wasn't a Ford, but a mix of Renault Alpine and Renault 12 due to some Ford/Renault joint venture by the 60's / 70's =] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-wheel_drive Atriel (talk) 09:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NO!! The first FWD Ford was the Ford Cardinal, designed for North America as an answer to GM's innovative Chevrolet Corvair. But when the conventional Ford Falcon was selling better than the Corvair, the Cardinal was moved to Germany where it was introduced in 1962 as Ford Taunus P4. And it was a genuine Ford construction, while the Corcel basically was a Renault 12. OnkelFordTaunus (talk) 22:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
