1975-1978 Ford LTD 
This big car, which hobbled along in sales after the 1974 oil crisis, dates back to the sixties in basic design, 1973 in form. The size and feel of these cars are similar to the Buick LeSabre and Chevrolet Caprice before GM's 1977 downsizing. They're boats, big, heavy, and with
appalling handling and road feel. They can fit six people inside both coupe and sedan though, nine in the wagon. Trunk space is also vast. While these cars weigh less than the earlier models, they are still far in excess of two tons, meaning that agility and fuel economy are both weak points. The most "economical" engine available was the 302cid V8, but it doesn't have enough power to motivate these behemoths, and suffers from valve guide wear because it's so overmatched. The next largest engine was Ford's 351cid V8, which was the most common, if not most powerful, choice. The 351 is well suited to LTD, and has a reputation for reliability in this car. Still larger was Ford's 400cid V8, with more power but less fuel economy, and

thread_title:  ewww, what's this 

message: There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding what is and is not an LTD. The standard Ford LTD was built from 1965 to 1991, even though only the LTD Crown Victoria was fullsize. The LTD line ceased to exist after 1991, when the fullsize Ford became just Crown Victoria.
In 1983, the LTD and LTD Brougham models were downsized to take the place of the Granada. The RWD midsize line was killed after 1986, but the base and Brougham trim lines were not continued on the fullsize model.
Therefore, a 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria is still an LTD.
And, just for the record, both sedan images on this page are 1988-91 LTD CVs. --Sable232 05:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  LTD vs LTD CV 

message: RE "Discuss suggestion that article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page."
Yes, should be. The US "LTD" and AU "LTD" are two entirely different cars, (EG. different "platforms",) merely having a similar name. It was done with the linked Ford "Falcon", and likely other AU vs. US, (and UK and South American, etc.,) FoMoCo, Chrysler and GM cars (?), why not this one? 
Then again maybe the whole "disambiguation page" thing should be reconsidered... just having links in each article? (Hello Jimmy?) Thanks. truthdowser 20:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is the “North American” version built in the USA and Canada simultaneously, Ford LTDs where also built in Argentina,  Brazil and Australia with different platforms and/or models! — Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 18:28, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed "Americas" is too broad of a description (it's basically saying "Western Hemisphere").  Not only is this an issue for the article name itself, but could create bigger problems in terms of editors trying to write article links when writing about the Ford LTD; there shouldn't be a format that creates a bunch of redlinks.  Changing it to Ford LTD (North America) might also make better use of the Ford LTD disambiugation page. -SteveCof00 (talk) 09:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
