In the 70s and 80s, the oil crisis shook the world.
In Brazil, with fuel prices constantly rising, the great American-inspired models, such as the maverick and Landau, became unviable.
These cars, which represented luxury and power, were no longer able to meet the new demands of the Brazilian market: efficiency and rationality.
A Ford of Brazil, in search of a worthy successor for the luxury segment, decided to abandon the American inspiration and turn to its German subsidiary.
There, he found the Ford Granada, a sedan that symbolized sophistication, modernity and efficiency.
This model became the main reference for the development of Del Rey, but not everything was replicated.
Released in its second generation in 1977, O Ford Granada conquered the European market with its bold design and advanced engine options.
If you are a lover of classic cars, perhaps it is time to look for one of these models to call your own and keep alive the history of an era in which luxury and efficiency met.
After all, both the Granada and the Del Rey left their mark on a market that knew how to value the best of the union between Brazil and Europe. –
