Escorts never hit the US market till the 1980's

Many versions all over the world before that.

Ford used the escort name on different vehicles in different countries.

you would have to help us help you by at least stating which country the cars were originally sold in.

I looked them up last night when this question was posted and some of the images look like the old Mercury Capri that was marketed here in the states in the late 60 to early 70's, which if it is, means it was actually designed in Germany and could be difficult to find parts for it. Depending on the body of the car it is probably a Ford Escort Europe car that was marketed 1968-2004

But there are several areas of the world that name has been used in and they were all done by different Ford divisions.

Will post pics when available for better model shape clarification. These year versions were sold in South Amaerica by Ford dealers, can't know if came from Europe or USA. The Capri was a much larger version. Thanks all, highly appreciated.
