Selected articleThe Ford Taurus is a full-size, front-wheel drive automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in North America. Initially a mid-size car, it was introduced in December 1985 as a 1986 model, replacing the rear-wheel drive Ford LTD. Most Tauruses have either been built in Chicago, Illinois (until April 23, 2004, at which time the plant was retooled to build the Five Hundred) or in Ford's Hapeville Plant in Atlanta, Georgia. The original Taurus was a milestone design for both Ford and the entire American automotive industry, as well as a very influential vehicle in the marketplace. During its 20 years of production, Ford has sold over 6.7 million Tauruses worldwide. Between 1992 and 1996, the Taurus was the best-selling car in the United States, prompting Honda to grow the US version of the Accord to a similar size. The Taurus eventually lost its best-seller status in 1997 to the Toyota Camry. (more...) Other selected articles Selected pictureDid you know...
