The Ford Torino was a series of mid-size cars that were introduced for the 1968 model year. Originally, the Torino name debuted as a luxury trim level offered on the Ford Fairlane, but in 1970, the Torino became a standalone model. Over the course of its production, the Torino was available in a wide range of body styles, including sedan, hardtop, convertible, and station wagon, and featured a variety of inline six and V8 powerplants. Ford built the Torino in three generations: 1st Gen (1968-1969), 2nd Gen (1970-1971), and 3rd Gen (1972-1976).
