1998 FORD ESCORT Fun Facts
The Ford Escort was a compact car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1967 through 2003. Although it was originally a European model, the Escort badge has been applied to several different designs in North America over the years. The Ford Escort name was first used in the United Kingdom for a variant of the sidevalve engined Ford Squire (1955-1959).

The name 'Escort' was first applied to a Ford vehicle in the 1950s and was used on an estate car version of the Ford Anglia 100E. It became its own model in 1967 and served as a replacement for the Anglia. It was originally a European model that would later become adopted by the North American market in 1981. The first generation of Ford Escorts in the US shared many components with its European counterpart and with the Mercury Lynx. The production of the Lynx would be continued until 1987. The Escort came in a variety of bodystyles, including a four-door station wagon and a two-door hatchback. The four-door hatchback was introduced in 1982. The Escort sat atop a 94.2 inch wheelbase and was powered by a 1.6-liter engine and matted to a four-speed manual gearbox. A five-speed manual unit and a three-speed automatic were offered as optional equipment. A 1.3-liter unit had been used during development and testing but it did not have adequate power, so it was replaced by the larger 1.6-liter unit. A turbocharger was offered in 1983 and 1984 which boosted power for the 1.6-liter engine to 120 horsepower. The second generation of the Escort was introduced in 1991. The design was similar to the ones being used in Escorts in other parts of the world.
