Keep this going!




My parents bought a '75 Elite new. It was Polar white with red cloth interior. Options included power windows, AM/FM radio, tachometer/gauges, A/C, and wire hubcaps. It was a great car, they traded it in for a new 1983 Cougar. When I was about six or seven, I could easily tell the year of a particular Elite: '74s had Gran Torino emblems, '75s only had the "Elite" badge, and '76s had half-vinyl tops.
