Ford Gran Torino 2-door Hardtop, 1975. The producers of the new TV series needed a flashy specialty car for the main characters and the Gran Torino was chosen with a large white vector stripe added to make it less mundane. The series was a big success and the car attracted enough attention for Ford to make a special edition of 1000 "Starsky and Hutch" Torinos. The death was announced today of David Soul who played the role of Sergeant Kenneth Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson in the series. RIP

Ford Torino & Gran Torino, 1972. Ford's intermediate range was redesigned and realigned for 1972. This included a switch to body-on-frame construction with 2 door models having a shorter wheelbase than the sedan and wagons. The Torino and Gran Torino were available as a 2-door hardtop (concept shown top) and a 4-door sedan; the Gran Torino Sport was available as a 2-door hardtop and SportsRoof (GTS concept pictured). The station wagon line-up consisted of three models: Torino, Gran Torino, and Gran Torino Squire (pictured). It became the best-selling intermediate for 1972, outselling Chevrolet for the first time since 1964. It was discontinued in 1976 and replaced by the LTD II and expanded Mercury Cougar range
