Retro Review: 1982 Ford Granada Wagon

How many holidays did you spend riding in the back of the family wagon on the way to grandma's house?

[@Kyntteri]

Legend has it that this Granada is still this day jiggling a bit after that brake test.

Look at that car bounce around it looks like the tests were done on the moon.

The 55mph stop looks like he was driving a waterbed! Lol 😁

[@DriftTaxi]

MAAAAN! Getting motion sick just watching this. I'm glad American automakers stepped away from using molasses and marshmallow for suspension in favour of actual springs and struts.

John Davis must be an awesome poker player..... his ability to lie convincingly is almost frightening.

Meanwhile, in america......

The guy has been doing car reviews since before I was born, WOW! Talk about dream job 😍

[@MonkeyDolphin]

Seems this car shipped with springs but no dampers.

Good Lord! That braking test was the scariest thing I've seen in a while!

[@herrgolf]

That is a SOFT suspension.

[@Fradias11]

Man, I need a car with suspension that soft. That's just amazing.

John has definitely aged better than the Granada. I haven't seen one of those on the road in years.

The presentation of this is so rough even compared to just a few years later. Great stuff!

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Great comedy relief to see this.

"Almost everything about the interior said 'quality'" Ooookay.

[@BCJDM]

I read that as Ford Grandma Wagon

[@techmaven5900]

Did they take the shocks out before testing?

[@chipleach]

I remember driving the "boats" of the seventies and early eighties. I used to love that "floating feeling" lol scary to look at now.

[@torres3800]

Man good thing they alerted us to carry a spare belt on long trips. lmao!!! brake test was hilarious!!! bouncy bouncy
