Questions and Comments
Technik: Mit dem Taunus P3 verließ Ford die Trapezlinie des Vorgängermodells P2. Der Wagen hatte weder Heckflossen noch überbordenden Chromschmuck und wirkte wieder europäischer. Er sah nicht nur sachlicher aus, sondern war deutlich wirtschaftlicher und zweckmäßiger als sein Vorgänger: Die veränderte Karosserieform brachte einen um 20 % geringeren Kraftstoffverbrauch bei höheren Geschwindigkeiten mit sich sowie bessere Beschleunigungswerte und eine größere Höchstgeschwindigkeit. Die hochgezogene Windschutzscheibe war stark gewölbt. Die Oval-Scheinwerfer ergaben bei Abblendlicht eine deutlich bessere Lichtverteilung und -intensität. Durchgehende Längsträger machten die Ganzstahlkarosserie verwindungssteif. Wenig fortschrittlich war hingegen die beibehaltene 6-Volt-Bordspannung. Zur Verbesserung des Bedienkomforts war auch der erste Gang des P3 synchronisiert. Das Fahrwerk mit MacPherson-Federbeinen und Querlenkern an den einzeln aufgehängten Vorderrädern und einer Starrachse an Blattfedern hinten hatte Ford ohne wesentliche Änderungen vom P2 übernommen. Einen hab ich noch! Was heute bei Coupes aufwendig "easy entry" für die Fond-Passagiere beworben wird hatte der Ford bereits eine wesentlich simplere und effiziente Lösung parat; die Sitzlehne klappte leicht schräg in die vordere Position sodass man in dem freigegebenen Raum gut nach hinten einsteigen konnte!!
