Ford Torino

The Torino was a muscle car marketed by Ford in the sixties. It came in a Torino Cobra edition, after the Shelby Cobra, a Torino GT edition, a Torino 500 edition, and a Ford Talladega edition (although the Talladega itself did not come in a 500 despite being named after the famous NASCAR race). The Torino competed in NASCAR. It also formed the basis for the Ford Ranchero. The Torino was originally based on the Ford Fairlane. It was named after a city in Italy also known as Turin, famous for its holy "Shroud of Turin".
