The Ford Motor Company had trouble in the early 1980s. Itstrucks were selling well, but its line of cars was unpopular and had a terriblereputation. The company lost $3.3 billion from 1980 through 1982. As thelosses piled up, Ford's engineers were working feverishly to redesign theirline of mid-size cars. Ford turned out a redesigned Thunderbird and Tempo andmanaged a profitable year. And on this day in 1985, Ford introduced the Taurus,the product of years of engineering. The distinctively streamlined car becameenormously popular, lifting Ford to record profits in the late 1980s. Therounded "jellybean" shape of the Taurus had a strong influence on thedesigns of other automakers in the next few years.www.nodrivingloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #ithappenedtoday #december26 #ford #taurus #fordtaurus
