1975 Ford Maverick 2d Sed

MAVERICK SERIES — (6-CYL/V-8) — Originally scheduled to be replaced by the new Granada, the Maverick's existence was extended after the energy scare of 1974. The sedans and the sporty Grabber featured refinements to interior and exterior trim; thicker, cut-pile carpeting; a Deluxe steering wheel as standard equipment and a 200-cid base six. Ford block lettering was added along the hood lip and the slot in the center of the front bumper was slightly decreased in width. New options included power disc brakes and a deck lid-mounted luggage rack. A catalytic converter was required with the base engine, while the optional 250-cid six or 302-cid V-8 came without this unpopular piece of equipment. Radial tires were also added to the regular equipment list. Buyers were given a choice of blue, black or tan interior combinations (as in the past) or new, light green trim.
