1983 Ford LTD Test Drive
Ford restyled its Fairmont-based 1981-82 Granada into 1983’s new “downsized” LTD, into a smaller, lighter, more streamlined (0.38 drag coefficient), 5-passenger sedan or station wagon. Single series, with 2.3 four, 3.3 inline six, and 3.8 V-6 engines, modified for propane fuel was also available. Suspension and steering were very similar to Thunderbird. Totally new interior design, with Electronic instruments cluster and diagnostic warning lights, semi-bucket front seats with console and armrest, luxury interior group, flip up roof panel, were new options, along with a larger fuel tank. Sales rose some 35,000 units to 155,758.
