1993 F-150 Flare Side

[Mainemantom]

I found the 80 Granada on a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury lot in San Diego. It was a 2 door, red body with white, 1/2 top and red cloth interior. am/fm, a/c, bumper guards, reclining front seat. The wheel covers had white circular accents. It had side moldings that had white accents. I got a screaming deal at $4200 plus tax and license.The salesman got fired because he was suppose to charge me for the extended Ford warranty but did not. The dealer could not do anything because I paid the car in full in cash. The error wasn't found out until weeks later. Really a beautiful car. I put JC Whitney clear diamond plastic seat covers on. Since I lived in the desert, those became super hot. I put about 60,000 miles on it before I sold it to buy my 82 MGM. Transmission worked fine after it got replaced. Long story about the difficulty getting it replace. Very short version is; The local dealer in the desert would not warranty the car because I did not buy from his dealership. Had to get the district rep involved. Ford paid for the car to be towed 120 miles away to have it replaced. Last time I saw it was about 2008. It was all there and running. I needed to be cleaned up. paint was faded. If I still have a picture, I will post it.
Doing a write up on the 45 cars I have owned would take a year !

Had a 1977 Ford Granada, baby blue 4 door with white vinyl rook. 302 V8 that ran like a top but started frame rusting from being up North. Got it with less than 7K miles on it as it belonged to the mother of the dealership owner. Wish I still had it (minus the rust issue) as it was one of the best cars I ever owned. Had a girlfriend whose parents had a '75 Grenada that was black with a red interior. That is what turned me on to those cars (besides her)!
