While I've seen the V-4 motor itself referred to as the Redwing, I only found one reference to the car itself potentially being sold in the USA under that name . . . And it was just an opinion, not anything from Ford. Nothing else yet.

Despite your admirable perseverance Fyreline, the point goes to Wendax for the correct answer of the Ford Redwing V4, as planned (but cancelled at the last moment) for the American market.

Well done Wendax! I would like to know, just for future reference, what the source was for this name? Even the curators at the Henry Ford Museum could not find the car so listed in the Ford Motor Company corporate archives, so it was well-hidden indeed. Now THAT's a great puzzle!
