You won't see this next car on the road very often, but it isn't some rare one-off oddball that you'll swoon for one first sight. It also isn't a car that you'll talk about the good times you had in your high school year or the romanticized stories of how your mom and dad met. To be clear, if you have
any memories of this next car, that aren't repressed, they are of the plebeian kind that involves driving 10 miles out of your way to use double coupons to buy white bread in the town down the road, or trying to coax that last few drops from the gas spigot in the hopes it'll get you down the road to the next gas station...because the Toyota Starlet wasn't just owned by poor people...it was owned by cheap people...my kinda people.

Today is October 14th, which is Columbus Day..and Canadian Thanksgiving...sorry...so this next feature came across the Ocean blue and now lives in the land of wheat and beef. The Mark 1 (that's fancy pants speak for first generation) Ford Fiesta was designed by Ford of Europe and built in an assembly plant in Cologne, Germany for worldwide consumption. The Fiesta was only sold in the USA for a few years (1978-1980) before it was replaced by the North American built Escort, an unfortunate turn of events for economy car drivers because the German built Fiesta was a cool piece of kit while the American built Escort was an unforgettable pile of guano. Find this 1980 Ford Fiesta Mk 1 offered for $5000 in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.
