Named after the Italian resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, which had held the Winter Olympics some six years earlier, the Ford Consul Cortina was unveiled in September, 1962. Concealing a lightened version of the Consul Classic's substructure beneath bespoke exterior panelling, the newcomer was equipped with MacPherson strut independent suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes (though front discs were later standardised). Intended to offer class-leading accommodation and economy, the Cortina was initially powered by an 1198cc OHV 'Kent' four-cylinder engine allied with four-speed manual transmission. Developing some 48. 5bhp at 4, 800rpm, it was reputedly capable of 78mph and 29mpg. A strong seller, the Ford could be had in two-door, four-door or estate guises and with a variety of engine and trim options. Revised for October, 1964, the Cortina lost its Consul prefix but gained a heater and screen washers as standard, not to mention the much vaunted 'Airflow' ventilation system and improved interior trim. Mk. I production ended in late autumn, 1966, after an impressive 1, 010, 090 cars had rolled off the assembly line.
