About the Ford Escort

The Ford Escort is a truly iconic car. It's been around since 1968, and they exist today as a classic car! But how did we get to where we are today? What was the history of the ford escort? Well, in the 1960s, Ford had been making some pretty good cars—but they hadn't really done anything new. They were just doing what they'd always done: making reliable cars that were affordable for everyone. That all changed when they started working on an affordable sports car. They built a prototype in 1963 and tested it out on a rally course in Germany—and it was good! But there were still some issues with the design. So, Ford went back to the drawing board, and in 1964 came up with a new design that was ready for production.

How did the Ford Escort rise through the ranks in popularity?

The first generation of the Ford Escort (1968-1970) was based on the chassis of the second-generation European Cortina. The car's launch also marked a first for Ford: rather than evolving its model over several years, a completely new model was introduced at each stage of its production cycle. The Escort did not sell well when it was first introduced because it competed directly with other British makes such as Mini and Austin Maxi. However, over time it became an iconic vehicle thanks largely to its sporty styling and affordable performance options like turbocharged engines or four-wheel drive systems that could be added later on through dealer-installed kits (which could also include larger wheels).

More about the Ford Escort…

The Escort was one of the most popular cars on the road, with over nine million sold. It had three different engines available: a 1.3-litre inline four-cylinder engine, a 1.6-litre inline four-cylinder engine, and a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine. The 1.6-litre engine produced 70 horsepower at 5500 rpm while the 2.0-litre engine produced 90 horsepower at 6000 rpm. This car was popular because it was inexpensive, reliable and easy to maintain. It also had good fuel economy for its size and low emissions levels which made it popular among consumers looking for an environmentally friendly vehicle at an affordable price point.
