The Cortina was introduced in 1962 and changed the face of British motoring. It was a risk Ford took and one which paid off. In 1963 the Cortina became the market leader, a trend it kept up for the next two decades. Introduced in 1970, the Mk3 couldn't have been more different from its predecessors. Technically it was almost all new, the car had a 3.5" longer wheelbase than the Mk2 giving a larger cabin, but was the same overall length, it was 2" wider and 4" lower giving it a bigger look. With styling influences from Detroit, the Cortina had a "cokebottle" look to them similar to the American Pinto and LTD models.
