Ford Exp: The Ford of the Roaring '80s
There are only quite a small number of automobile companies and
manufacturers that has been able to overcome the challenges -
different lifestyles and bigger plus better competition - that
the changing world offered. And among these counted few, the
Ford Motor Company is one of those.
Starting its humble beginnings back to the year 1903, the Ford
Motor Company still has been able to continue in the automotive
world as one of its major players and manufacturers. Founded by
Henry Ford that year during the first coupe of years of that
millennium, the company has been able to manufacture and create
the classic Ford Model T. Although the coming of the Second
World War proved to be a hindrance for the continued
manufacturing of vehicles from this company, the end of the said
event was considered to be a fresh beginning for Ford. At
present, the company has crafted vehicles and has also the hold
over other vehicle brands like the Ford, the Lincoln, the
Mercury, the Aston Martin, the Jaguar, the Volvo, and the Land
Rover.
Also, the Ford Motor Company has been successfully tagged and
named as the largest automobile manufacturer the world over. It
has continued on delivering dependable and classy automobiles to
the different markets in the automobile industry. Their vehicles
have become classics due to the fact that the vehicles hold a
great appeal to the masses and are generally high quality. Even
the name, Ford, exceeds a reputation of performance and power.
One of the vehicles that comprise the Ford vehicle line up is
the Ford Exp. Most people presume that the Ford Exp is just
another name for the Ford Explorer. However, the fact is that it
is not and this vehicle is an entirely different one altogether.
It certainly also does not look as if it is a Ford Explorer.
This Ford Exp model has been has been crafted and manufactured
by the company during the roaring '80s, specifically from the
year 1981. This line has lived for seven whole years up until
1988. It is a subcompact car and has succeeded the Ford
Thunderbird upon its end of production. It sports two doors and
has a two passenger capacity. It is also considered to be the
first car of the modern generation that has used and sported the
oval symbol of the Ford brand. It shares most of its parts with
the Ford Escort. It came equipped with an 80 horsepower engine
that was later on upgraded to have a greater capacity of ten
horsepower more. Later on, the Ford Exp line has been cut so as
to give way to another Ford vehicle, which later came on to be
known as the Ford Probe.
