Produced from 1968 through 1976 for the North American market, the Ford Gran Torino was considered an upscale version of the intermediate Ford Fairlane produced from 1962 through 1970. After the 1968 model year, the Fairlane moniker was given to all base model cars while the Torino name was saved for models with higher trim packages. Come 1971, and the Fairlane name was completely dropped, and now Ford intermediate cars were all called the Torino.
