A Brief History of the Ford Fiesta Part 1
The Ford Fiesta was designed by Ford of Europe in the 1970s to compete with the new “super mini” car design that was being introduced by companies like British Motor Corporation, MINI, and even Vauxhall, who produced the first Chevrolet Chevette in 1975. Fiat and Renault were also manufacturing smaller, front-wheel drive vehicles that were big on gas mileage.
The Mk1 Ford Fiesta utilized a four-speed, manual transmission to operate with the 957 cc engine, which came to be known as the “Valencia”, and was named after the factory that Ford built, which was intended to produce only Ford Fiestas. All the versions offered for American buyers featured a larger 1597 cc four cylinder engine.
