Ddey65 ◊ 2010-03-03 20:57	I never thought of these as "Gran Torino Elites." I simply thought of them as "Torino Elites."

Rogersn1 ◊ 2013-05-12 05:14	The 1974 Ford Elite was indeed the Grand Torino Elite with a badge saying so, How ever the 1975 Ford Elite had a full vinyl top and the 1976 Ford Elite sported the half vinyl top.
