And regarding the Granada, I vaguely remember the ad campaign that called it something like "A European luxury sedan at an American price."
A steaming POS. We had one, for which my dad sold our '65 Mercury Park Lane. The Merc was an American luxury car, and the first time I rode in the Granada I thought it was broken. Incredibly noisy when compared to the Merc. I think that Merc had a 390 in it. I know it was pretty fast, and got sucky gas mileage. So, in fact, did the Granada. Just about the same mileage but without any of the acceleration. Handled worse in the snow, too, and was less roomy. -- Jim
