1975 Ford Custom 500

The 1975 Ford Custom 500 is a full-size car within Ford’s lineup, primarily positioned as an economy model. For most of the 1975 model year, it was not available to retail customers in the United States but was reintroduced later and more widely offered in Canada, often targeting fleet buyers in the U.S. Key features include a typical V8 engine, often the 351 cubic inch (5.8L) variant, paired with a SelectShift automatic transmission for enhanced driving convenience. The vehicle is available in both sedan and wagon body styles, accommodating diverse customer needs. The Custom 500 provides basic amenities with some enhancements compared to the base model, including chrome trim and improved upholstery. Identification can be made through the “Custom 500” badge, along with chrome fender trim and roof drip moldings, while the interior features may include carpeting and upgraded cloth-and-vinyl upholstery, distinguishing it from the lower-tier Custom model.
