1970 Ford LTD

Ford's top trim level full-size model for 1970 was the LTD and it was available in several different body styles and with a host of options. They had retractable headlights, a die-cast grille, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmissions, attractive exterior moldings, and an electric clock. The well-equipped vehicle was available as a sedan, hardtop sedan or coupe, and a station wagon with seating for either six- or ten-occupants. The LTD station wagons received simulated woodgrain appliques on the bodysides. The top trim level on the LTD Series was the Brougham, available as a two- and four-door hardtop and a four-door sedan. The Brougham distinguished themselves by having more luxurious interiors but retaining the same exterior trim.

Production of the Ford LTD began in 1965 and continued to 1968, often being fitted with options normally reserved for the Lincoln and Mercury models. It served as a full-size model until 1959 when it was downsized, becoming smaller than the LTD II, and for 1983, it became a mid-size car. The full-size LTD then became the LTD Crown Victoria. The mid-size LTD was replaced by the 1986 Ford Taurus.
