What is this car?

Alright so a guy at work came up to me and asked me if I could identify a car. Sure. He showed me the picture on his phone. He said it's the cover for a song he was listening to on Spotify. Now he did find out that Spotify was based out of the UK. Looking at it I first guessed the Australian Ford Falcon, but that isn't it. There are 2 people in it, so by seeing them I judged it is a compact car. The grille is a 2 piece grille, being split on the sides. We can match the grille, but the lower valance we are not having any luck. Check the wipers, it might be RHD. We tried Charger, Torino, Challenger. I'm thinking European Ford, but may be anything. Any help would be great

I believe that car is a european Ford. I think they called it Taunus or something like that. It looks like the ones I remember when I was in Germany in the early 80's. The Fords over there were "weird" to me, because they were so small, and they really ran great. I never saw one that was automatic or with a bench seat. There were sedans as well as coupes, but they all had bucket front seats. They would really run, and handle.

The grille and headlights looks like AMC Rambler/Rambler Marlin to me. However, the bumper is not correct. Another close looking car is the late 60s Plymouth Fury.



However, I suspect this a highly modified Photoshop picture and we might never know.
