The body of this car is beautiful! But I'm not sure what's going on at the front...

Is it from the Americas?

Is it based on a 1960-ish Ford Galaxie?

1960-ish Ford but don't know which model.

As I said, it's based on a US marque (which we now know to be Ford); nothing to do with South America!

It looks like a Michelotti design but I've never seen this before. I really like it!

Yes, it is by the Great Man!
There are one or two of his signatures there..

Do we need the same book as the one in your puzzle NEH 5112 is shown in to find this one?
Finding Cars badged as a Ford with names never used before or after by the manufacturer and styled by Michellotti is quite a challenge using the web...

Yes, I'm afraid you do; I haven't been able to find any mention of these cars on the Internet, which doesn't mean to say there aren't any..  Google is only useful up to a point.

I've taken a leaf out of Djetset's book and used some pictures which are probably not solvable on the WWW, as my Internet-based puzzles don't seem to last more than 5 minutes any more and I just can't find enough now that haven't been posted already to keep posting as I used to.

Did the word represent something concrete (say, an animal or a flower...) or something abstract, like an idea or a feeling?

Yes indeed.  Well done.
The model name seems to have been hi-jacked by Fiat nowadays!
