So today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar is a classic challenge; can you name it from the rear light, plus some bodywork!

A European car with some American DNA it sold in a lot of the "Anglosphere" markets, including the USA.

@DazzlingDamo looks like a Ford Capri. I always struggle to see Ford as European, sure a model may be Euro-centric and even designed in Europe, but Ford is American to the core in terms of its values, culture, policies, etc...

Much like I struggle to see Tacomas or Tundras as American, whilst yeah they are American models they are Toyota to the core in all the aforementioned ways.

@gpowerf It is indeed a Ford Capri, albeit one made in Australia!
I do get what you mean, even if, having grown up with "British" Fords I am more willing to accept them as not American.
For some decades, Ford in Europe was it own thing, but for many years now Detroit has taken greater control over everything.
