Ford Durango
The Ford Durango is a two-seat coupe utility pickup truck sold in limited production by Ford Motor Company between the 1979 and 1982 model years. The vehicle was the result of a joint venture between Ford and National Coach Works, located in Los Angeles, California. Though not produced on an official basis nor considered the replacement for the Ford Ranchero (which ended production after the 1979 model year), the Durango was developed as a potential competitor to the downsized 1978 Chevrolet El Camino; it was commissioned by Ford to be sold through its dealership network. As the El Camino derived its underpinnings from the Chevrolet Malibu station wagon, the Ford Durango was closely related to the Ford Fairmont Futura two-door coupe. As no official totals were kept by either company production estimates vary between the low 200s and 350, with 212 conversions known to have been made by National Coach Works.
