[DeTomaso] Side markers, which Ford?

[eb0711 at kolumbus.fi]

I think there's a resemblance with early seventies Torino, with both 
markers and dash vent holes. Lo and behold, I have Torino in my garage, 
but never looked that closely... Will check, unless someone knows off 
the bat that they are not the same.
