Awesome to see a Ford Fiesta in the wild.

They were great cars imported from Europe and very popular. Ford introduced it in a huge rush to replace the Pinto after the exploding-Pinto scandal killed that nameplate, and the new US-spec Escort wasn’t ready yet. Then when they launched the Escort they pulled the plug on the Fiesta. The Escort was a worse car in every way.

I owned a series of 4 Fiestas. The cheapest one I got for $175, the most expensive one was $400. My parents had an Escort which was a problematic car.
