 FORD Orion Pictures from Car Picture Gallery
The Orion looked similar to a contemporary Escort at the front, but rear of the body was totally different; the Orion had a long flat boot (three-box saloon design) rather than a hatchback or estate body like the Escort.
The standard equipment on the Orion was far superior to that of the Escort, e.g the Orion Ghia 1.6i standard features included central locking doors, sunroof, front sport seats, power windows, rear head restraints, tachometer and an information binnacle informing the driver when the vehicle needed maintenance.
Also the fact that the Orion was a family car and was available with fuel injection was groundbreaking; Porsche was still fitting carburettors to particular models in their lineup.

 fUSION Anomaly. Orion
Later in my book _The Orion Mystery_, I also demonstrated that the best fit for the Giza Pyramids/Nile pattern with the Orion's belt/Milky Way pattern occurred when the sky was pushed back in time (i.e., precessed) to the epoch of 10,500 BCE.
When the stars of Orion are observed at the meridian in the precise manner that the ancient Egyptian astronomers did over many centuries, they could not help noting that these stars crossed the south meridian at different altitudes at different epoch.
In short, the stars of Orion can be said to have a starting point or "beginning" at the nadir of their precessional cycle.
