Jim's first car was this 1977 Granada...

1977 Ford Granada 2-door - Powered by 250CID inline six engine. Jim's uncle bought it new in October of 1976 and it was given to him as his 16th birthday present...

After a few years of 'improvements' (chrome wheels, new paint, and few little 'modifications'... fake dual exhaust, custom headlight covers, and Monarch tail lights to name a few), he was the proud owner of a very unique and sharp-looking car. Unfortunately, he got rid of it in 1994 (don't ask why) and has regretted that decision ever since :-(

Thank you, Jim, for photos and description of your Granadas.
