The first Ford Granada went on sale in 1972. It was presented in several body types: a four- and two-door sedan, a four-door station wagon and a two-door Granada coupe with many chrome parts. Models with basic equipment before 1975 were called Ford Consul, compared to them Granada was simply luxurious.
In the Ghia configuration, a cozy and spacious interior was successfully combined with exquisite filling: a six-cylinder V-shaped engine with mechanical injection with a capacity of one hundred and sixty horsepower, high-quality wood panels, power windows, a sunroof, air conditioning, power steering, a false radiator chrome grille.

The new appearance was distinguished by rectangular headlights, while the filling remained the same. The production of Granada II was also launched. Turnier.
Due to fashion, the demand for compact cars Ford Granada began to fall, and the production of this model was temporarily discontinued. In 1982, after a slight modernization, these cars began to be produced again. The changes affected the interior and body design. Plastic mirrors appeared in the corners of the windows, new bumpers, rear corrugated optics and other details. In the same year, the production of a sedan with two doors was discontinued.
