The Ford Taunus 17M is a family size sedan / intermediate sedan that was produced by Ford Germany between August 1957 and August 1960.
The Taunus 17M name was also applied to later models, which is why the car was generally identified retrospectively as the Ford Taunus P2. Due to its exceptionally flamboyant styling the first 17M also acquired various nicknames including "Barocktaunus". During a three-year production cycle 239,978 Taunus P2s were manufactured.
