The new LTD thus trailed the big Oldsmobiles for second place in full-size car sales and ran far behind Chevrolet's Caprice/Impala.
Granada was a far more rational proposition and one
of Ford's best-timed ideas of this decade. The "Fox" program that produced
Fairmont was one of Ford's first projects initiated after the 1973-74 energy crisis, but it wasn't Dearborn's only attempt at downsizing.
Yet it was less successful than the Fairmont or Mustang -- and
that was curious. Billed as the first FoMoCo car designed with the
aid of computer analysis, the Fairmont (and its Zephyr twin at Mercury)
was a common-sense car and pretty conventional.
Maverick's true successor bowed for 1978 with a name borrowed from Ford's Australian subsidiary: Fairmont.
New for 1982, it was Ford's first two-seater since the original Thunderbird, but its "frog-eye" styling wasn't in the same league.
Escort's original 1.6-liter (98-cid) engine had just 69 horsepower, but by 1983
was up to 72/80 horsepower with two-barrel carb or 88 horsepower in optional throttle-body fuel-injected form.
A mid-1985 upgrade brought a larger 1.9-liter
(113.5 cid) "CVH" with 86 horsepower in carbureted form or 108 with option electronic port fuel injection.
The car then reemerged in mid-1986 as the Escort EXP, with a similar new
flush-headlamp front, revamped dash, and 1.9-liter engines
for two models: 86-bhp Luxury Coupe and 108-bhp Sport Coupe.
Coupes, sedans, and wagons in two trim levels were offered.
A front stabilizer bar was standard, as was rack-and-pinion steering, offered
at extra cost with variable-ratio power assist, a new item shared
with several other Fords that year. Engines were
familiar -- initially the 140-cid Pinto four, 200-cid
six, and 302-cid V-8 -- but there was a new all-coil
suspension with modified MacPherson-strut front end geometry, which mounted the coil springs on lower A-arms.
An optional five-speed manual came along for 1983. All-coil four-wheel independent suspension persisted throughout, with MacPherson struts and lower control arms
fore, modified struts on trailing arms and
lower control arms aft. So were ride and handling, thanks
to a new all-coil suspension with more-precise four-bar-link
location for the live rear axle. Not that it performed that
well on those roads with its untidy cornering response
and a roly-poly ride on rough sections. It was soon a familiar
sight on American roads.

Those years -- 1980-82 -- saw Ford Division output drop from 1.16 million cars to just under
749,000. But thanks to an economic recovery and an ever-changing line of ever-improving Fords, the division went back above the 1.1-million mark
-- and would stay there through decade's end.

You will want to find a repair shop that can provide
a full range of services for all of your
vehicles and all of your needs. For even more light, arborists
can thin out overcrowded branches in the canopy, leaving some
openings in the foliage for sun penetration. And though an Escort underneath,
it cost considerably more. Aside from better handling, this arrangement opened up more underhood
space for easier servicing. With base and luxury coupe, EXP eased below 26,000 for '87, then was abandoned
in 1988 as a bad bet, though this did free up assembly-line space for regular Escorts.
The latter was newly standard for GT, which gained its own asymmetric
body-color grille, aluminum wheels, bigger tires,
rear spoiler, and rocker panel "skirts." All Escorts were mildly
facelifted with smoother noses in the "aero" idiom pioneered by the
'83 Thunderbird, marked by flush headlamps.
