OK, the Pantera one looks to be similar to the Lucas design that is in my Goose.....

I'm more wonderin' 'bout the Deauville and Longchamp versions.

The Longchamp turn signal stalk version shown is 1978 Ford. Now, what model of Ford is the question! Looks to me to be the same as in Versailles, Monarch, and Granada models. Probably the same 1978-1981ish.

The steering column is what has be interested! I rebuild Ford tilt columns, and after about 1973, there were rarely any tilts sold, if any, that didn't have a column shift with the PRNDL indicator on it! The casting piece that sits right next to the padded portion of the dash is where this PRNDL indicator would be, and in the picture it appears to be smooth!

SO, I wonder if a part from an earlier car was substituted (Mustang and Cougar), or if the part was modified??? (Smoothed and finished)

Thanks for the pictures!!!

PS: Beautiful dash layout! Reminds me of the Goose arrangement with the padded lower piece and the longer horizontal dash vents!!! Has anyone checked to see if the dash AC vents are the same as a GOose? IF so, they are rare!!!!
