Ford EXP
The Ford EXP (also called the Ford Escort EXP) is a sport compact coupe that was manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company from 1982 to 1988, across two generations. The first two-seat Ford since the original Ford Thunderbird, the EXP was sold exclusively in North America. For 1982 and 1983, Mercury marketed a badge engineered variant called the LN7. The EXP was derived from the American Ford Escort, and shared its powertrain and chassis with that car. It received model-specific front and rear fascia styling, and a new, lower coupe roofline. What would have been the rear seat area in an Escort was converted to additional cargo space. The EXP received a minor face lift during model year 1985. After model year 1988, the EXP was discontinued.
