1971
The Cardinal/Cortina was all new. The V4 engine was replaced by an inline 4. The new motor was cheaper to build and maintain but produced more vibrations.
The Falcon became the Granada after being redesigned for 1971. The new model was very European in its design.
The Mustang was updated, gaining significant length and weight. Buyers were not impressed with this bloated Mustang and sales suffered accordingly.
