DescriptionFord LTD OverviewThe Ford LTD was a car model name that has been used by the Ford Motor Company both in North America and Australia. The LTD designation is considered by some an abbreviation of "Luxury Trim Decor" and by others as a limited body style classification for the Galaxie. There is evidence that, at least in Australia, it originally stood for "Lincoln Type Design." The original "Car Life" review at the time the first LTD was released suggests that it stood for nothing and was just three meaningless letters (that article also noted it could not stand for "limited" as Chrysler at the time already was using and had the copyright on that car name/designation). It was to be called the Galaxie LTD, in reference to the introduction of the Chevrolet Caprice which itself was an upscale model of the similar Chevrolet Impala model line and the similar body style but varying trim levels found in the Dodge Monaco and Polara. These upscale models had features found primarily on luxury models from these same manufacturers, but were sold with much lower retail prices. The standard upgrade on these cars were power windows, a power drivers seat, power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full or half-vinyl top (called a landau or brougham randomly across different models by the same manufacturers. For example, the LTD was offered with a Landau top, but the Mercury Marquis and Ford Torino offered exactly the same roof as a Brougham package). Another list of upgrades were interiors made of better materials and more powerful engine options. Most of these upper trim models were usually all hardtops as opposed to pillared bodies.

| Assembly: Dearborn, MI The River Rouge Plant (commonly known as the Rouge Complex or just The Rouge) is a Ford Motor Company automobile factory complex located in Dearborn, Michigan at the confluence of the Rouge and Detroit rivers and Zug island. Construction began in 1917, and when it was completed in 1928 it had become the largest integrated factory in the world. The Rouge measures 1.5 mi (2.4 km) wide by 1 mi (1.6 km) long, including 93 buildings with nearly 16 million square feet (1.5 km²) of factory floor space. With its own docks in the dredged Rouge River, 100 miles (160 km) of interior railroad track, its own electricity plant, and ore processing, the titanic Rouge was able to turn raw materials into running vehicles within this single complex. Over 100,000 workers were employed there in the 1930s. After the 1960s, Ford began to decentralize manufacturing, building many factories across the country. The Rouge, too, was downsized, with many units (including the famous furnaces and docks) sold off to independent companies. | | Body: LTD A luxury range of large cars wore the LTD badge from 1965 to 1991 in the United States. The LTD name debuted as the highest trim level package on the Ford Galaxie 500, but became its own model in 1968. The Ford Galaxie name continued for the lower levels until 1974. From 1968 to 1970 the LTD shared its grille, trim pieces, and hide away headlights with the Galaxie XL sport coupe and the Country Squire station wagon. The hide away headlights deceased in 1971, making the grille and trim pieces the only difference in the body. In 1975, the LTD name took over completely, although the long-standing economy line, the Custom 500, remained available through 1978 for fleet sales only in the US and as a full line in Canada. From 1975 to 1978 an even more upmarket model with Lincoln-like hidden headlights and fender skirts was marketed as the LTD Landau. During this period, the model was also sold in Mexico. | | Engine: 8 Cyl. 390 CID The 390 CID (of 389.6 CID or 6.4 L true displacement) engine, with a bore of 4.05 in (103 mm) and stroke of 3.78 in (96 mm), was the most common FE engine in later application. It was used in many Ford cars as the standard engine, as well as many trucks. It was a popular high-performance engine too; although not as powerful as the 427 and 428 models, it provided good performance, particularly in the lighter weight vehicles, and was in much greater supply.the 390cid 2v is rated at 265 bhp @ 4,100 rpm. |
