The 1978 Ford Granada is a typical representative of the American automobile industry of the late 70s, striving to combine comfort, style and reasonable price. The updated model of the second generation received a strict, straightforward design with a massive grille and chrome elements emphasizing its solidity. Granada was positioned as “affordable luxury” - an alternative to European sedans. The interior offered a spacious cabin with soft seats, wood trim and a set of options. The main emphasis was made on smoothness and comfort, but not on dynamics. Under the hood is quite powerful motor, but even with it the car remained rather a family car for leisurely trips.
Today, the car is perceived as a reflection of the era, when designers tried to preserve traditions, trying to adapt to new market requirements and meet the expectations of mass buyers.
