Out of all the old Fords at the Billetproof Nor-Cal show, this one may have been our very favorite (yes, even beating out the undeniably awesome Maserati-powered Ford ). Why? It's really a Malaise Era Ford Granada! Jump away to get the rest of the story. Its creator had a bare, beat-to-hell shell sitting on one side of the garage… and a $100 '79 Ford Granada sitting on the other side. You can see...
Now, you might think German men would be at a disadvantage when trying to score with the ladies in Paris, but she'll be saying "Ja, ja!" when Hans rolls into town in a brand-new Ford Granada. No, not this kind of Granada - we mean the European Granada ; Ford thought the name was so good that they needed to assign it to two totally different vehicles. Paris-based Franzouse gets the credit for sharing...
Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Given the incredible number of Ford Granadas sold to rental car companies American car buyers, you'd think we'd have seen quite a few of them in this series. Not so! We had a '77 Granada two-door last winter, and now we're on our second- also a '77 two-door....
Today dear reader, I assault you with a variety of trivial questions, to be responded to in kind via the 'magic comment' feature. I expect, of course, the sounds of crickets and an orphan gently weeping. On to the show. -The Cubs are faltering more than my old 1980 Ford Granada. Get the D-Bags out of my life. Something about them just ain't right. They reek of an Independent League team (Schaumburg...
Maybe I was harsh when I likened the 1980s to the Dark Ages. Certainly, readers responded enthusiastically when I asked you to nominate exciting and memorable cars the Big Three built in that decade. And maybe Sen. Barack Obama was right when he singled out the Ford Granada as one of the worst vehicles Detroit ever produced. Nobody wrote in to defend the car that he learned to drive in and recalls...
Now we know that Obama's auto knowledge is enough to fill up an ashtray from the sedan he bashes, but c'mon, senator -- Detroit built way worse cars the 1970s Ford Granada.
U.S. Presidential Candidate Barack Obama recently called the Ford Granada "the worst car Detroit ever built," providing us with his answer to a question that every American pistonhead asks himself at least once in a while. The Free Republic has its own list of "worst American cars" which includes such luminaries as the Chrysler TC by Maserati and the Chevette. MSNBC has a poll which lists the Vega...
While Detroit produced some pretty pathetic vehicles in the 1980s and early '90s, no time was worse for the Motor City than 1970s. Vehicle quality suffered as the Big Three struggled to meet new emissions standards while simultaneous trying to keep their vehicles large. So while there are plenty of cars to choose [...]
Somehow, the Ford Granada doesn't look quite as Mercedes-like in person as this ad claims, but maybe you need to get more into the Malaise spirit to really see it. Try looking at it through some Quaalude-tinted glasses, while imagining interest rates on that 280SE hovering around 18%. Granada... 280SE... Granada... 280SE...

MARFA, Texas -- A thousand feet above a wind-swept, drought-browned valley, a man steps out of a late-'70s Ford Granada on a deserted two-lane stretch of road. He is confronted by a second man, who raises a pneumatic bolt gun to his forehead and deals a fatal blow.
MARFA, Texas (AP) - A thousand feet above a wind-swept, drought-browned valley, a man steps out of a late-70s Ford Granada on a deserted two-lane. He is confronted by a second man, who raises a pneumatic bolt gun to his forehead and deals a fatal blow. Chip Love - or "Man in Ford," as Oscar-nominated "No Country For Old Men" would come to credit him - collapses to his knees on the blacktop, where Texas...

When you're talking about Malaise Era Fords, you might choose the Maverick we saw on DOTS as a good example of the Early Malaise period, and the Fox-bodied Fairmont as the archetypal Late Malaise Dearborn machine. But what about the Middle Malaise period? Why, the Granada is the obvious choice- they sold in huge numbers, yet featured the hallmarks of Detroit Malaise: miserable engine power and cruddy...
