in 1948 the car reappeared as the ford taunus g73a, and remained in production until 1952. this was the first (and until the 1970s the last) ford taunus to feature a fastback shape: in this application the rather severe slopes enforced by squeezing north-american style fast-back styling onto a relatively short wheelbase was not universally admired: the car became known as the "buckeltaunus" (hunchback taunus).
