1975 Ford Granada

The 1975 Ford Granada is a compact car noted for its premium features, strategically positioned between the Ford Maverick and Torino. It is offered in both sedan and coupe body styles, catering to a variety of consumer preferences. Engine options include standard 200 cu in (3.3 L) Thriftpower I6 and 250 cu in (4.1 L) Thriftpower I6 engines, with optional 302 cu in (4.9 L) small block V8 and 351 cu in (5.8 L) Windsor V8. A three-speed manual transmission comes standard, with a three-speed automatic available, while a four-speed manual was introduced later. The Granada’s design emphasizes luxury with options like the Ghia trim, featuring a vinyl roof and enhanced interior amenities. Notable features include a coil-spring front suspension and a leaf-sprung live rear axle, reflecting the model’s adaptation to the 1973 oil crisis by providing a more fuel-efficient option while retaining comfort.
