The Granada has bittersweet memories for me. My dad had one in 1973, and I remember him taking me out in it, childhood stuff. It was to my eyes absolutely huge and luxurious at the time.
Unfortunately he was killed in a car accident that year, and that was the car he was in at the time.
So while i too love big saloons and always have, I never wanted a Granada.
I did have a Carlton though (and cast envious eyes on a Senator, especially after driving one for two weeks down to the south of France one holiday). And had Mondeos etc.
Mind you, i also remember the Zephyr Zodiac he had in the late sixties, with front bench seats. Seemed like a cathedral! Looking now it's about the size of a modern rollerskate.
