That is a Ford Zephyr 6 MK2 or 3. Mid Sixties built. Though, can be restored again, with a little more perseverence.

Cheers!

Does the Zephyr's grille remind you of any other vehicle, or vehicles? To my mind come two - one European, another American. The slats in the former are horizontal, while in the latter they are vertical as in the Zephyr. Of course, neither is exactly like the Ford Zephyr's, but there is some auto-suggestion (at least to my mind!).

Jeep Wagoneer , but let us know who the two European cars are which look similar to this. Pretty interested to know. By the way do you mean Fiat 124 aka the 118 NE of India.

Spot on, Manish! The Jeep Wagoneer/early Cherokee is one

The other (European car) that came to my mind is the early Volvo 140 (although the slats are different in that, but the grille on the whole has a similar elongated appearance, if I'm not mistaken).

The Fiat 124 didn't quite strike me though - the headlight bezel area doesn't extend beyond the ring, no? There could be few more vehicles, of course that could be similar (maybe the Cortina Mk II ??) - I'm unable to zero in at the moment...

Here is another copy cat with a "waterfall grille" : GAZ-24 Volga

Opel used this style in the 1960's.
