Hello,
Anyone know if its possible to fit a "normal" ford front to a landau ?
I don't like the landau guards or bonnet.
What other cosmetic differences would a landau have from a "normal" coupe ?
Please don't wade in saying how good the landau looks, I really dislike the look myself..especially the front.....are these panels interchangable with other XA/XB/XC panels?
Thanks !

Cosmetic differences are the rear quarter window panel is squared off in the Landy. The Landy has different rear tail light bever and tail lights. Landau interior, including seats, door trim, centre console, steering wheel, dash and gauges are different

Yes, the front clips are fully interchangable - but you'd end up with Franken-coupe. Better to just buy an XA, XB or XC coupe.

If you dont like the Landau flip headlight front have you considered a Fairlane front or even a P6 Rolls Royce Ltd front? any of these are a simple bolt on change over as well

Well it was about a year ago he asked so if he hasnt made a decision by now I guess he never will. I couldn't swap the front end of a landy. It would just be wrong on so many levels.

Give the landau to some one that will appreciate it.
P5 LTD and landau are the best looking fords, inside and out ever dude.
The problem is you have no class.
