OSI-Ford 20M Convertible (1967)

The OSI-Ford 20 M TS is a coupe produced by the Italian car manufacturer Officine Stampaggi Industriali (abbreviated OSI).

 

Sergio Sartorelli, who also designed the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34, was responsible for the design in 1965. The vehicle was technically based on the Ford 20M and was manufactured between 1967 and 1968. There were 870 cars with two-liter V6 engine and 409 with 2.3-liter V6 at prices of 14,900 DM and 15,200 DM admitted in Germany. In 1968 OSI went into bankruptcy. It appeared at the 1967 Paris Salon a convertible version of the OSI Ford, which remained a unique piece. A small series was planned, but never released. The Convertible rode on a shorter wheelbase than the Coupe.

 

Since 1987, the OSI Owners Association in Germany with reproductions and annual meetings cares about the legacy of OSI. From once about 2200, other sources speak of 3500 copies only about 200 of the OSI-Ford 20 M TS exist today.
