Nice enough example. These were never as popular as the Seville with which it was meant to compete. It's origins as a Granada were too obvious. Cadillac did a great job in concealing that the Seville was based on the Nova.
I was being 'followed' by one of these for a short distance today. I so wanted to pull over and have a better look at it, but had to get somewhere.......
I owned a '75 Seville; you definitely could tell it was a stretched Nova. Lincoln should've done the same with the Versailles, because nothing says luxury like a tall man cramped behind the wheel.
Saw one of these a couple decades ago with a 429-8V for $1500 at that time. Just for that engine and the rear axle, I would've bought it if I had had the money.
Nothing says 70's Luxury like a padded vinyl top, fake continental tire trunk lid and wire wheel covers! I never knew they could have 4 wheel disc brakes! And all the warning lights on the center console are interesting. Column shift cars with bucker seats and center consoles always look odd to me. I have always liked the Aircraft style door handles on the 50-70's Fords though.
And none of that crap is enough to completely disguise the Ford Granada that layeth underneath. Man, I really don't know how some of these cars ever sold at all.
