In 1967, Ford UK and Ford Deutschland were merged into Ford Europe. The first birth of this union was the Escort in the same year. By 1972 the standardization was almost complete but the 1970 Ford Cortina and Taunus did not yet share the same grille. The last brick of the unification was Granada, which replaced the English Zephyr and the German Taunus P7. The chassis was new with independent suspension, but the engines were taken from the two old branches. The Granada was declined in sedan (4 and 2-door, rare), break and fastback coupé. The first series of fairly rounded bodies was replaced by a more angular restyling in 1977, which also eliminated the coupé version. The engines were standardized, with the appearance, among other things, of a diesel borrowed from the PSA group. The sixties V6s were still there, but that was their last use. In 1981 the Granada got another restyling with a new grille, more wraparound bumpers and other aesthetic touches, as well as a partially redesigned interior. The Granada went out of production in 1985.
