(1967 - 1976)
Car articles about Ford (US) Gran Torino by year
It was no bigger than its siblings, the Ford Mustang Grande. But it was more comfortably equipped and remained comparatively rare. For some, it was the best Mustang ever. In 1969 and 1970, a total of around 36,000 Grande models were delivered, some of which received the largest possible engine with a displacement of 5.8 liters and 304 SAE horsepower. This meant that they were not only comfortable, but also fast. This report portrays a Grande model built in 1970 and shows it in modern and historical pictures.
In 1972, Ford presented the large Granada and its identical brother Consul, a joint development by Ford England and Germany. This was also the last big Ford. Its successor, the Scorpio, never really succeeded it, and after that Ford only built mid-range models. This driving report looks at the vehicles from 1972 onwards, shows their strengths and weaknesses and portrays a two-door fastback saloon from 1973 in detail.
Although the exterior of the Ford Granada only changed in terms of trim, the 1975 revision brought many other improvements: From more extensive basic equipment and new instruments to a more refined seating position and suspension set-up. Did the utility value of the Granada 75 increase? This report describes the test results of the model with the 2.0/90 hp V6 engine.
In 1972, the Opel Rekord faced competition from the new Ford Granada. Whether the Ford was inferior or superior to the Opel can be found in the test report, as well as the advantages and weaknesses of the new Granada.
Cult car or spitfire? Even on the 50th anniversary of the Ford Granada, the question still cannot be answered with certainty. As is so often the case, it all depends on how you look at it. Our article explains how the perception of the Ford Granada has changed over the decades and what once made it so successful.
