    I think it's a Capri (English Ford). 70's era.

    That looks like a '63 Sedan Delivery. I wonder if it would do a wheelie?

    And yeah, I agree with Gene. My first thought was 70-something Europe-based Mercury Capri. Used to see them a lot, but not so much anymore.

    Mercury Capri and Opel Manta

    I "googled" images for the Opel Manta and Mercury Capri and found the following. They do look similar, but the shape of the back window is different.

    While I was looking at Opel pictures I saw this nice looking 1964 Opel Rekord. The front grill at least appears very similar to a 1963 Falcon's. The vertical fins on the front fenders are nice. The 1961 Plymouth Valiant had horizontal front fender fins. Those would have opened another car up like a can opener in a collision.
