in 1949 ford added a taunus version with body panels fitted only as far back as the a-pillars, and several alternative body shapes became available, added by traditional coach-builders such as karmann of osnabrück, of heilbronn and plasswilm in cologne. coach-built ford taunus versions include two- and four-seater cabriolets with two doors, a special four-door cabriolet for use by police forces, small three-door station wagons and even four-door taxis.
