1975 FORD GRANADA

1975 FORD GRANADA Ghia Coupe. The Ford Granada is a mid-sized car that was manufactured and marketed by Ford in North America from 1975 to 1982. Taking its name from the flagship product line of Ford of Europe, the American Ford Granada was produced in two distinct generations. Initially sold alongside the Mercury Monarch and Lincoln Versailles, the Ford Granada would become sold with the Mercury Cougar. During its production, the Granada was sold as a two-door coupe and sedan, four-door sedan, and a five-door station wagon. The first generation Ford Granada was assembled by Mahwah Assembly and the Michigan Assembly Plant; the second generation was produced by Atlanta Assembly and Chicago Assembly. In total, 2,066,336 examples were produced. First generation (1975–1980) The Ford Granada was released for the 1975 model year. Beginning life as the intended successor for the Ford Maverick, the Granada took on a new role as the Maverick remained popular through the 1973 energy crisis. Much as the original Ford LTD became a high-content version of the Ford Galaxie, the Granada survived to create an all-new niche: “one of the most luxurious compacts on the market". As buyers shifted away from larger sedans, Ford repackaged the comfort and convenience features of the (Gran) Torino and LTD into a smaller package. To market the higher content of the compact sedan, at its introduction, Ford marketed the Granada as a rival to the similarly-sized Mercedes-Benz 280 of the time. Ford Motor Company's design chief at the time, Stephen Estrada, would later mention: "The Granada was my favourite design and the one that I'm most proud of". With a 109.9 inch wheelbase for both two-door coupe and four-door sedans, the Ford Granada shared the chassis of the four-door Ford Maverick. Through the commonality of chassis underpinnings, the Granada marked the fifth and final generation of compacts derived from the original 1960 Ford Falcon in America. For 1978, the Granada outlived the Maverick (replaced by the Fairmont) and saw a minor restyling. To match the design theme of the Ford LTD II, the front fascia was given rectangular headlamps, revised parking lamps, and a new grille design. In addition, the tail lamps saw revisions along with the redesign of the side view mirrors. Lincoln-Mercury sold the Granada as the Mercury Monarch and the Lincoln Versailles. Introduced in 1977 as a Lincoln competitor for the Cadillac Seville, the Versailles sold far below its sales projections, becoming an ill-fated example of automotive rebadging. Powertrain options included the base 200 ci (3.3L) Thriftpower Six, a 250 ci (4.1L) Thriftpower Six, and 302 ci (4.9L) and 351 ci (5.8L) "Windsor" V8s. Available transmissions included a standard three-speed manual, a four-speed manual with overdrive, and a three-speed automatic (standard on 302/255-powered cars). Ghia Ghia versions of both the Granada and Monarch included higher-level interior and exterior trims and added sound insulation. The 1975-76 Grand Monarch Ghia was a top-of-the-line version. The Granada Sports Coupe was produced in 1976-1977; Mercury offered a similar treatment with its 1976-77 Monarch S. A 1977–1/2 variation on the Granada Sports Coupe, produced from May '77 through the end of the model year, featured blacked-out molding, modified trim, taillights, and colour selections. Documentation of this half-year model exists in Ford advertising from spring 1977. This car is perhaps the "rarest" of Granada production.
