The 1973 Ford Torino embraced new regulations with its square front fascia and energy-absorbing bumpers, adding over an inch and 100 pounds. While the car’s power slightly dipped, its opulent Gran Torino Brougham model offered luxury with nylon cloth or faux leather interiors. The “laser strip” option and a quieter, smoother ride gave it a dash of flair. Despite losing the Ram Air scoop, the Torino still outpaced GM, selling over 168,000 more units than the Chevelle. Not quite a supercar, but a street star!
