Auto Union's obsession with copying Ford's of that era wasn't restricted to
the Falcon.  They also made what was essentially a 5/8 scale copy of the
1955 Ford Thunderbird.

Too bad they never felt compelled to copy the late '60s Torino or Mustang
with the "sports roof" body style.  <sigh>

AKA, the Falcon A.  Ford was inpired.
