Ford Pinto

Ford is one of the most influential names in the automotive industry. It is known for revolutionizing the method of mass production of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce. Henry Ford, its founder, implemented Eli Whitney's idea of an assembly line using interchangeable parts. This increased production yet lowered production cost, which made it the leading auto manufacturer in the US at that time. In 1913, almost half of the total number of cars being manufactured in the US was from Ford Motor Company.

Like many Ford cars, the Ford Pinto had a twin, the Mercury Bobcat Ford Pinto was the compact car produced in 1971 and lasted until the 1980 model year. It was offered in three body styles: a 2-door sedan, 3-door hatchback and a 2-door station wagon. In its last two years of production, a Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon was out in the market. This was similar to a tiny van conversion, which was popular in the late 1970s. It had a round bubble window on the side panels.

Ford Pinto cars had a unibody construction, which is predominant to cars during its time. The unibody construction uses external skin of an object to support the load on the structure unlike the internal framework type that uses non-load bearing cover. The unibody or monocoque construction technique yields stronger yet less expensive autos. Ford Pinto cars also featured longitudinal engine for both front and rear wheel drive ford Pintos, manual or automatic transmission and live axle rear end. The suspension had unequal length and was composed of A-arms with coil springs (front) and live axle suspended on leaf springs (rear).

There were different engines used in the Ford Pinto. These were the 1.6L Kent OHV I4, 1.6L pushrod straight-4, 2.0L SOHC straight-4, 2.3L pushrod straight-4 and the 2.8L Cologne V6. The Ford Kent engine delivered a satisfactory performance that gave Ford Pinto fairly good reviews.
