📚 Vehicle History

Brand History:

Ford is a long-standing automotive manufacturer with a global presence and a history of producing reliable and accessible vehicles.

Granada Evolution:

The Ford Granada was a mid-size car produced by Ford Europe from 1972 to 1985, and then by Ford Australia from 1972 to 1975. The 1992 reference likely pertains to a specific market where the model name was continued or a rebadged derivative existed, or potentially a misunderstanding of the common production timeline. However, this manual is specified for a '1992 Ford Granada'. Assuming the manual accurately reflects a 1992 model, it would represent a later iteration or a specific regional variant.

Production Period:

Ford Granada production for Europe: 1972-1985. The 1992 date suggests a potential continuation or a different market application.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Awards:

No prominent awards are typically associated with the Ford Granada for the 1992 model year as the model's primary run concluded earlier. Any awards would likely be for older iterations or regional variants.
