Ford Fiesta Reaches 35th Birthday With 15 Million Cars Produced

Ford Fiesta has been a true stunner since its very beginnings, being a car which was accessible and versatile at the same time. The first Fiesta was manufactured in Valencia, Spain, in 1976 being Ford’s response toa fuel crisis which was strangling the car market at that time. It had such an amazing success that there have been 15 million cars produced till present and six generations of the car have been manufactured.

After its 35 years of existence the Fiesta still remains as popular as ever. Ford has manufactured its 15 millionth Fiesta in July, with no worries as demand for the sixth generation is encouraging. The Fiesta celebrates its 35 years of existence with interior and exterior design lines which are true testimony in matter of car manufacturing evolution. Ford Fiesta shows no signs of aging whatsoever as a matter of fact it looks sharper than ever inside and out after receiving a well thought facelift, as related by rushlane.com.

The current model shows encouraging sales figures as well, giving the fact that Ford has built a million units of the latest Fiesta since it was launched 28 months ago. And not to overlook the amazing success that the Fiesta H.F.H.V., or “Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle,” had under the close “guidance” of Gymkhana master Ken Block. Valencia the “birthplace” of Ford Fiesta continues to manufacture the model.

We’d also like to mention that the majority of Fiestas are being manufactured in Cologne, Germany. But the model is built also in Nanjing, China, Rayong, Thailand, and Cuautitlan, Mexico.
