Based on the grille, I believe it's an '82

I say 1981. They added the Ford blue oval to the grille in 1982.

Yeah, looks like you're right, I was just going off a bad picture (http://escortfocus.com/html/history.html).

You're all wrong. It's a 1981 Mercury Lynx. ;)

No, Lynx had different grille. Escorts had a crosshatch and Lynx had vertical bars.

Didn't the Lynx have that chrome stripe on the B-pillar?

I'm not sure if the Lynx used this particular B-pillar trim, but the Escort certainly did...my family used to own one!

This is definitely a 1981 Ford Escort (identifiable as such by the crosshatch grille with rectangular openings with no oval in the middle and the silver globe badge aft of the front wheel well), not a Mercury Lynx.
