Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-12-29 17:33	I agree it is a Ford Granada
ArnaultL ◊ 2005-12-29 18:26	Yes, it's a Ford Granada ! I never heard, before today, about an US version of Granada, and in Europe, "Ford Granada" in used by ford Germany an ex Ford UK to design another, different model. http://members.tripod.com/~drdesign/dangran.htm for example. -- Last edit: 2005-12-29 18:26:52

Those of you outside the US can see more about the US model of Granada at www.gmv-registry.com if you like. There were two generations of American Granadas: '75-80 were similar, and '81-82 were built on a different platform. The name was retired in the US after '82.
