Re: Jim's 1976 Ford Granada

Thanks guys for your comments. I've been taking the car to shows more often. I get a lot of reminiscing from people whose family or friends had one. One guy told me that this was the first car he ever drove. I haven't seen another one on the road in many years now.

Mine has the 250 CID 6. I get about 13 mpg around town and 18 on the highway on regular gas. It just passed smog, too ! I'm way under the allowable limit on tailpipe emissions. This is the oldest model year that still has to be smog checked every two years in California. It's kind of a pain but it gives me an incentive to keep it in good running condition.
