Ford Cortina at AllExperts (2806 words)
The Cortina was produced in five generations (Mark I through Mark V—though officially the last one was the Cortina 80) from 1962 until 1982, when it was replaced by the Ford Sierra.
The Cortina was also assembled in left hand drive in the Philippines, in South Korea (by Hyundai) and in Taiwan (by Ford Lio Ho) until the early 1980s.
The Cortina was withdrawn from the American market when Ford decided to produce a domestic small car in 1971, the Ford Pinto, though it continued in Canada until the end of the 1973 model year.
