Going on your description, it sounds like a Concorde.
Concorde has Concorde badge below right headlight and a stripe down the side with a Concorde badge near tailight. Badges are stickers.Rear wing was not standard. It sounds like you have a Concorde, thats not been looked after. But then it could be one that someone has altered. Should be able to get build date etc from www.ford.com.au. Enter your VIN number in and it will give you info on your car. Hope I have been able too help.

yea no concorde badges in sight, but its immac looked after only 94,000kms when i brought it, through my work old couple traded it on a patrol to tow their caravan, i do know there were a few concorde/sportsman/even saphire falcons that the owners requested no badging so maybe. either way im happy and it keeps with a mates auto ef XR6 now that the exhaust is done so im happy:)
