The second picture has a Ford script on it. I'm guessing it is a Lincoln Versailles caliper. The Versailles disc brake rear end was very popular around the time I built my car.

Digging up, I agree on the Versailles, issue I'm having now is that a Versailles
Brake line invert flange does not seem to match.
The best description I could give would be similar to a pentagon shape
Thanks guys

Looks like Ford Granada to me. Don't know if that's the same as Versailles or not though.

I'm starting to gather a pretty impressive hose collection now.
Looking at the Granada and Versailles, the flange fittings that m/u to the caliper don't look like they're the same.

Looks exactly like mine. Take the pad to auto zone or oreilys and have them cross against 1972 Ford Granada. 11" discs on Ford 9" rear end. I would bet a six pack on it.
Part numbers are D91 front, D102 rear.

I am not a Granada person, but didn't they hit the US market in 1975?

Some Granada all Versailles had disks on the rear. That is what is in the pictures. They take a banjo bolt for the rear hoses . You can see where the parking brake actuating lever would bolt to the side of it. I just had to put a new pair of calipers on the rear of my mustang.

I would also say the caliper mounting bracket is also upside down. The retaining wedge is to be on the bottom of the caliper.

Does this look like the right one? And sorry. Earlier I meant 1978 Granada. You guys were right, didn't hit US market till 75.

Just did some research on Rock Auto. The caliper is from a 1978 Lincoln Continental, according to the photo. Check it out.

Yes, it's a banjo fitting, but I'm having trouble matching that block/flange end the banjo goes thru & bolts up to the caliper, I still haven't found any that look the same |
