Can you Tell us if these 70s Cars are Ford or Chevy?

por Phillis Caudill (2023-07-05)


Whether you are a Ford person or a lover of Chevrolet, there is no doubting that both these brands are not only recognized throughout the world but respected as well. And both have a very long and colorful history in not only American but world motoring. Chevrolet was formed in 1911 by a certain Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant, as well as a host of other investors. Henry Ford had been involved in the manufacture of automobiles for a few years before that, but helped change the game when he introduced an assembly line to vehicle production in 1913. This made his most famous vehicle, the Model T, accessible to the man in the street by significantly lowering production costs, and soon Model T's were everywhere. And from that day onward, Ford and Chevrolet have battled it out! That battle has been ongoing through the years! The '70s, in particular, saw a heated battle as the oil crisis threw a spanner in the works for both manufacturers.  This c on te nt has be en done by GSA C on te nt Generator  DE​MO .


The question is, however, can you tell the difference between a Ford and a Chevy? One image is all you have and believe me, it's tougher than you think! Take your time and good luck! Let's begin. Who made this off-roader? The first 4x4 Bronco hit the trails in 1966 and between that year and 1977, proved to be a more than capable off-roader. Blessed with a turning circle of just 33.8 feet, thanks to a wheel base of 92-inches, later models also included a Ford V8 engine with incredible torque. Who made this muscle car? Introduced during the fuel crisis of the '70s, the Mustang II is frowned upon for one thing - its power plant options. No longer a gas-guzzling V8 muscle car, the Mustang II now had either four- or six-cylinder engines. Mustang aficionados were not impressed. This full-sized station wagon was produced by Chevrolet over two periods - firstly from 1958 to 1961 and again from 1969 to 1972. It was an entry level station wagon offered by the company during both its production runs.


As one of Chevrolet's most successful brands, the Chevelle was produced over two decades between 1963 and 1978. It included a variety of body options including station wagons, convertibles, coupes and sedans and even took part in NASCAR. The largest engine put into a Chevelle was a 454 cu in (7.4 L) Big-Block V8. A product of Ford Germany, the Taunus was marketed in various guises for a long period from the early 1950s onward. In the 1970s the P7 version of this vehicle, essentially a small family car, was marketed between 1968 and 1971. Interestingly, the Taunus was originally to be sold in the United States but it never was. There were brands for the Nova. The first was built from 1961 to 1979 and the second from 1985 to 1988. The Nova started life as a compact car but from 1985 fell into the subcompact segment. Was that Ford or Chevy?


Although the budget friendly Ford Pinto sold well, it had a terrible secret. Thanks to the placement of its fuel tank behind the rear axle, the Pinto was a real fire hazard in a rear impact collision. Ford only fixed the problem from 1976 onward and paid some out of court settlements instead of recall. Over 2.8 million of these cars were sold over a 12-year period. With sales of 2.8 million over a 12-year period, the Chevette served Chevrolet well in the subcompact class. In fact, in 1979 and 1980, it was the best selling small car in the United States. This light commercial van was first produced by Ford in 1965 and remains an important model in their lineup to this day. In fact, over the years, Ford has sold over 8 million Transits. Certainly, the Transit is a Ford legend. A utility coupe produced by Ford from 1957 to 1979, the Ranchero was actually adapted from a station wagon design.


Over 500,000 Rancheros were sold in the 22 years it was produced. The '70s were served by three separate Ranchero models. Competing in the subcompact segment, the Vega was produced by Chevrolet between 1971 and 1977. It was available as a hatchback, wagon, notch back and panel delivery vehicle. Over 2 million Vegas were sold during its production run. Released in 1970, the Mach 1 was powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine which produced just over 300 brake horsepower. The '71 model, not so much. A legendary Chevrolet name, by 1971, the Bel Air was a lower end Chevrolet model, aimed as a fleet car, for taxi fleets and police services. It was still available for retail customers who wanted a cheaper, no frills model. The El Camino was produced by Chevrolet between 1964 and 1987. It was available in a number of body options including as a utility vehicle. The '70s were served by third and fourth generation.
