DynaMike ◊ 2007-07-05 01:52	The early [P7]s had horizontal rearlights, but soon they changed the shape of these cars (too american) to a more exepted version [P7-Facelift] or [P7b], called "Die Linie der Vernunft" ("the line of common sense") and the vertical taillights on the edge came back. I must admit that I do not know when this change was made, but if I remember well it was rather soon after the first [P7], later called [P7a], was introduced. Cf http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_P7
