I'm not sure it's accurate to say that the Grand Monarch turned into the Versailles. The Versailles, although the same car, had considerable body differences. The Monarch and Monarch Ghia continued on after it was introduced, although I can't quite recall the dates of the Grand Monarch. RivGuySC 22:24, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Re: Grand Monarch. 1975-76, more info here: [1] was deleted from the lineup when the Versailles was released for 1977. The Grand Monarch was a high-option-content version of the Monarch Ghia with some unique features that appeared in the Versailles.

  • I made a popup-revert based on the asumption that "saloon" and "estate" were not proper terms, as used. If I'm wrong (maybe it's a British thing), please feel free to use those terms, and I'll stop reverting them. ---Mareino 15:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I have changed this back to British terms "saloon" and "estate" for the European versions, which seems more appropriate than the US terms. Jules1975

[edit] Granada USA and Europe

This article should be split up into two catagories as follows:- Granada (Europe) and Granada (USA) just as it is with the Ford Escort - Anthony.

Seems sensible Jules1975

I agree as well. Redeagle688 20:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Support — don't see why not. So long as we make a nice clear "disambiguation"-style page for Ford Granada itself. – Kieran T (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Support — The two have styling design and body size in common, but little else. In theory with the new U.S. Granada wikipage, the Monarch and Versailles can be combined into a single page, but that is a secondary idea Guroadrunner 22:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Support - they are completely different cars. On the other hand, the US Granada is basically the same car as Mercury Monarch and Lincoln Versailles. These cars should be combined. 84.140.28.43 17:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Support - I think it's a good idea. Just like with the Escort. 24.227.239.144 00:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

-- Please refrain from separating Monarch and Granada. These have more in common with each other than with the Versailles, which was a clearly-differentiated Lincoln product.

After more than a year, I have actually done that :D PrinceGloria (talk) 20:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
