4. Seinfeld, 1998, 76.3 million viewers. And at least half of those viewers were sorely disappointed with what they saw. One critic deemed it a big So long, suckers! farewell to the audience who had made the show about nothing such a big hit.
The European Ford Granada is a large executive car that was manufactured by Ford Europe from 1972 until 1994.The first generation model was produced from 1972 to 1976 at Fordâs German factory in Cologne and at its British factory in Dagenham. In 1976 production switched entirely to Germany.The original version was replaced in 1977 by a second generation model which was produced until 1985. From 1985 to 1994 the Granada name was used, in the United Kingdom only, for a third generation model which was sold in other European markets as the Ford Scorpio.he March 1972 released Granada succeeded the British Ford Zephyr, and the German P7-series as Ford's European executive car offering. At first, lower models in the range were called the Ford Consul.
A new replacement couldnât come soon enough. Ford launched the Consul and Granada in spring of 1972, within days of Vauxhall revealing its new FE Victor, which ironically did away with the larger Cresta and Viscount big car range.Fordâs replacement for the old and cumbersome Mk IV Zephyr/Zodiac was some five inches shorter and lower, yet more roomy.ig bargain barges didnât come any better than the Ford Granada which was a world away from the old Zodiac and rivalled BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Turbo and 4x4 versions were considered by Ford before the Energy Crisis. Itâs not often Ford gets it wrong but the Blue Oval certainly did with the Mk4 Zephyr and Zodiac.
