Ford Cortina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Cortina was produced in five generations (Mark I through Mark V—though officially the last one was the 1980 Cortina) from 1962 until 1982, when it was replaced by the Ford Sierra. The Cortina was withdrawn from the American market when Ford decided to produce a domestic small car in 1971, the Ford Pinto, though it continued in Canada until the end of the 1973 model year. The Cortina pickup was exported to the UK as the P100 until 1988, when Ford divested from South Africa, and a pickup version of the Sierra was introduced. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ford_Cortina   (2039 words)

Gail's Ford Cortina Page - www.Cortina80.co.uk The Cortina had been exported to almost every corner of the world including even Japan, where high tax penalties for cars above a certain size meant that the width of the car had to be reduced by a few centimetres. The long surviving Cortina and Taunus ranges were replaced by Sierra in September 1982, exactly 20 years to the day that the first Cortina was launched. A generation had relied on the Cortina which had found favour with a wide range of people from the high mileage taxi driver, commuters and even competition drivers. www.cortina80.co.uk /mk5cortina.htm   (665 words)

Handbook of Texas Online: CORTINA, JUAN NEPOMUCENO Cortina returned to the border in 1870, and forty-one residents of the Valley, including a former mayor of Brownsville, signed a petition asking that he be pardoned for his crimes because of his service to the Union during the Civil War. Cortina was idolized by many of the poorer Mexicans on both sides of the river, and his small army grew as recruits joined his ranks. Cortina agreed to evacuate the town and retreated to the family ranch at Santa Rita in Cameron County, where, on September 30, 1859, he issued a proclamation asserting the rights of Mexican Texans and demanding the punishment of anyone violating these rights. www.tsha.utexas.edu /handbook/online/articles/view/CC/fco73.html   (1109 words)

Media.Ford.com: CORTINA IN MOTORSPORT Roger ClarkÂ’s privately-prepared Cortina GT won the Scottish rally in 1964 and 1965 and the 1965 Gulf-London event, the Elford/Seigle-Morris Lotus-Cortina lifted the Handicap Category of the 1964 Tour de France and ClarkÂ’s Lotus-Cortina won the Welsh rally of 1965. In the 1970s later-model Cortinas were little used in motor sport, where the regulations favoured specialised, limited-production models, yet just for fun (and charity) Ford supported  one-model races in Britain and in Europe for Mk III Cortinas, where racing drivers like John Surtees, Jody Scheckter and Frank Gardner kept the crowds entertained. Even before the Lotus-Cortina arrived on the tracks, the Cortina GT was a race-winning car, not only in Britain (where Jack Sears won the British Championship) but in the prestigious 12 Hour race at Marlboro in the USA. media.ford.com /article_display.cfm?article_id=13081   (797 words)

Cortinapage3.htm Early Cortinas (and Capris) fitted with the overhead cam engine soon suffered from early cam shaft failure, announced by a healthy clatter from under the bonnet, this failure was due mainly to poor lubrication of the camshaft. The Mark 3 Cortina arrived in late 1970, it was a radical departure from the familiar 3 square box car of the Marks 1 and 2. As with previous Cortinas, the MK3 came in many versions, engine size ranged from a slightly weazy 1300 cc, the most popular 1600 cc, these 2 engines being lifted from the Mk2, and a new 2000 cc overhead cam engine. www.martinbass.org.uk /cortinapage3.htm   (746 words)

PBS - THE WEST - Juan Cortina Cortina was born at Camargo, Tamaupilas (Mexico), just south of the Rio Grande, into a wealthy cattle-ranching family. Outraged, Cortina demanded that the marshal stop abusing the Mexican, and when the marshal refused, Cortina shot him in the shoulder, took his former servant up onto his horse, and fled with him to safety. Cortina, who soon had five or six hundred armed men under his command, resumed his raids when the Rangers executed one of his lieutenants in Brownsville. www.pbs.org /weta/thewest/people/a_c/cortina.htm   (781 words)

The Mk.I Ford Cortina The first Cortinas were all fitted with an engine based on the 1000 cc engine that first appeared in the Anglia (which became known as the 'Kent' engine), stroked to 1200 cc (1198 cc). The Australian Cortinas (except the GT) by this time were using a 4.125:1 final ratio, instead of the UK's 3.9:1 ratio (which was used by the GT), and picked up a number of additions and adjustments to suit the local conditions (and driving?), such as dust proofing, revised spring rates, and local trim. When the Cortina was launched, Ford had a 2.6% slice of the market with English fours, and by 1965 this had risen to 3.6%, with 15,500 Cortinas being sold. www.pixelmatic.com.au /cortina/corty.html   (2102 words)

Cortina But then agriculture is not a specialty of the Ampezzo Thal, and the wealth of Cortina is derived essentially from its pasture-lands and forests. It was conspicuous from most points on the left bank of the Boita; but the best view, as I soon after discovered, was from the rising ground behind Cortina, going up through the fields in the direction of the Begontina torrent. To this spot we returned again and again, fascinated as much, perhaps, by the mystery in which it was enveloped, as by the majestic outline of this unknown mountain, to which, for want of a better, we gave the name of Notre Dame. www.oldandsold.com /articles13/travel-160.shtml   (731 words)

Skiing Cortina d' Ampezzo, Italy Cortina's slopes are fine for its regular up market visitors from Rome and Milan, many of whom have second homes here and enjoy the strolling, shopping, people-watching and lunching as much as the odd leisurely excursion on to the slopes. For keen slope-bashers, Cortina's fragmented areas can be frustrating, especially if snow is scarce and the area is fragmented even more; but the access to the Sella Ronda and other Dolomite Super ski resorts, though time consuming, is some compensation - having a car is best for exploring. Nowhere is more picturesque than chic Cortina, the most up market of Italian resorts. www.ski-europe.com /resorts/cortinadampezzo.html   (277 words)

Cortina d'Ampezzo : Introduction In 1902 Cortina hosted its first ski competitions, and in 1909 the completion of the first road in and out of the town, the magnificent Strada di Dolomiti (built by the Austro-Hungarian military), opened the slopes to more skiers. What's often forgotten, though, is that for all the town's fame, strict zoning has put a damper on development, and, as a result, Cortina is still a mountain town of white timbered houses, built aside a rushing stream and surrounded by forests, meadows, and, of course, stunning Dolomite peaks. Even without its 145km (90 miles) of ski runs and 50 cable cars and chairlifts that make the slopes easily accessible, Cortina would be one of Europe's most appealing Alpine towns. www.frommers.com /destinations/print-narrative.cfm?destID=732&catID=0732010001   (264 words)
