Brochure: '82 Ford Escort

Looks can be deceiving, because not one single body part of the North American First Gen Escort (1981 - 1990) was the same as our Escort Mk 3. In spite of being dubbed Ford's World Car the only things they shared was an engine and gearbox. However, on both sides of the Pond the car sold predictably well, it being a replacement for the Pinto Stateside.
