Ford Corcel

Encyclopedia : F : FO : FOR : Ford Corcel

The Ford Corcel was a car sold by Ford Motor Company in Brazil. It was originally based on a design inherited from the Renault 12 when Ford do Brazil acquired a Brazilian factory from Renault, in 1960s. However, the styling of the Corcel was unique to Brazil before 1978. From this year, the Corcel II bore a strong resemblance to the Ford Escort and Ford Taunus sold in Europe, and in neighbouring Argentina.

The first year of production of the brazilian Ford Corcel was 1968. The Ford motor company released a station-wagon version of the Ford Corcel, calling it Ford Corcel Belina.

The earliest brazilian Ford Corcel cars came with 1.3-litre water-cooled engine. Brazilian Ford Corcel GT was the first brazilian car with factory original 5-speed manual transmission, it also cames with 1.4-litre water-cooled engine with double-barrel carburetor.

The was eventually replaced by the Ford Del Rey.
