60 Jahre Ford Weltkugel-Taunus ( und Lockheed Konstellation)

1952 brachen bei Ford in Köln moderne Zeiten an. Der Taunus mit dem Modellcode G13 war eines der ersten deutschen Autos mit moderner Pontonform. Ihren Spitznamen erhielt die nur knapp über vier Meter lange Mittelklasse-Limousine von der großen Weltkugel am Kühlergrill.

You’ve made Google think you are some sort of weird foreigner. It’s demand to be allowed to translate this page.

Der große   amerikanische Einfluss auf das Design des Fords ist unübersehbar. Das selbe gilt übrigens für Opel aus der Nachkriegszeit.

Seriously, though, can you translate? I can make a general sense out of it, but not all, and Google isn’t a whole lot of help.

I think when I become an internet billionaire, I’m going to buy a Lockheed Connie as my personal flying yacht

How about an Rc121D Constellation

There may only be two that remain airworthy, plus a couple more being restored. You’re going to have to have lots and lots and lots and lots of money.

“Weltkugeltaunus” nennen die Deutchen diesen PKW. Ford sollte es heute wieder benutzen!

Beispiel:

Deutschland haette ein Bisschen spaet nach Pontonform angekommen - sie sollen 1948 Hudson importieren haette.

/quite likely some mistakes, I’m a bit rusty.

Wonder why it’s “der Taunus” but “das Auto”?

The French are odd that way too.

Meet la Clio.

And the closely related but nonetheless masculine Captur.

Something like (my G erman is almost non existent) : “ the big American input into Ford design isn’t unique. The same applied to Opel in th e postwar period”

I think it says “All praise be to America, who royally ficked our S cheisse up but then was kind enough to sell us their airplanes and cars shortly thereafter.”

I’m inclined to think there’s a sexing technician at Renault to separate them into appropriate pens before they’re released to market.

Think, though, what you could do with modern composites and turboprop engines. That thing would be awesome.

But the sound of radials. the SOUND!!

I know. Nothing at all like the sound of those radials banging away. I can’t even imagine what it sounded like in WWII to have hundreds and hundreds of heavy bombers in the air together.

The big American influence into the Ford’s design is undeniable.

And what Cé hé sin translated in the second sentence. German is a pain in the ass to non-native speakers : P

I think i told you this story once already, but I’ll repeat it, because I don’t have many stories.

In 2006, the St Louis Muni (an outdoor theater) was doing a production of South Pacific. That was the year my middle boy was born. He’s important to this story. So they production company had a B-17 some to St Louis to do a flyover at the beginning and the end of each show. But in between, it’s easier to loiter than to land and take off again.

I had a second story porch (a flat roof above a two car garage with railing and all). The B-17 would loiter around our neighborhood for three hours every night and I would stroll the baby to sleep every night listening to the rar-rar-rar-rar-rar.

Slow lazy radials are still radials.

As part of my doctorate in music, I spent a year learning to read German. I can get the general sense of most of it, but there are some specifics lacking here and there. It doesn’t help that German uses Yoda word order.

Some Germans can’t even speak, write or read proper   German;)
