Yes - it's a Ford!
You need to be just slightly more specific for a lock though..

..this is close to the right answer as it was code-named Apollo.
So I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can tell me what it was a prototype for (not simply the Consul) and from when it dates (not late 1950's according to my info).

What is the 5-letter name above the grille? Ford, Apollo, Consul, or Classic don't fit.  Capri does

I thought it was only 4 letters above the grille and it said F O R D , but it does seem to be 5 so maybe C A P R I?
It's the name on the rear wing I can't make out;  6 letters:  Consul?  Classic? Apollo?!
