Overview:
The Ford Taurus of 1996 was the third generation of what had become the best-selling car in America between 1992-1995.

By 1996, Ford engineers looked to make the car stand out even more from the competition, and a dramatic restyling was unveiled which featured rounded shapes everywhere ā including an oval rear window, drooping front and rear contours, and an integrated control panel ābubbleā ā features which earned the pejorative nicknames āSubmarineā or āBubbleā Taurus by the public.
