James' Ford Taurus Sedan (C/N)

Ed James owned a grey Ford Taurus Sedan that he utilized often in his espionage activities. The car would have been sold by the Ford Motor Company under the ‘Ford Taurus’ logo. Given the time-frame of the novel, the car was most likely a second-generation Ford Taurus but there is nothing to confirm the exact year of manufacture. The Ford Taurus was originally conceptualized in 1986.
