Ford Granada sedan EU 1972

The 1972 European‑spec Ford Granada sedan is an upscale, mid‑sized executive car that exudes 1970s refinement. Its long hood and truncated rear deck are joined by a crisp beltline and gently flared wheel arches, giving it a poised, authoritative presence on the road. The front end features a wide chrome‑surrounded grille flanked by quad round headlamps, while slim bumper overriders and side trim add polished detailing. Underneath the elegant coachwork, the Granada rides on a sturdy rear‑wheel‑drive chassis, typically powered by a smooth 2.0‑liter or 2.3‑liter inline‑four—later upgraded to a 3.0‑liter V6—paired with a 4‑speed manual or optional 3‑speed automatic transmission.

Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully laid out with wraparound door panels, plush bench or optional bucket seats upholstered in woven vinyl or cloth, and a wood‑grain‑trimmed dashboard that houses a straightforward instrument cluster and rocker‑switch controls. Ample legroom, a flat‑floor design, and well‑stamped steel panels convey solidity, while optional extras like air conditioning and upgraded audio make it a comfortable cruiser for long journeys.

This highly detailed 3D model captures the Granada’s distinctive proportions and period‑correct styling cues: the precise curvature of its C‑pillars, the chrome accents, and the recessed character line along the flanks. Textures faithfully reproduce the soft sheen of the period’s paint finishes and the subtle grain of the interior materials. Reflections in the glass and chrome trim are rendered with realistic clarity, and the model’s accurate geometry—from wheel design to badge placement—makes it an ideal asset for vintage automotive visualizations and historical presentations.
