“Ford” states that on Friday the last cars of this model, which have been produced since 1976, will roll out of the factory in Cologne.
When the gas crunch of the #1970s hit, Ford Motor was ready.
Their European division had been working on small cars for some time. The Ford Fiesta went into production in 1976.

During these years, about 20 million “Fiesta” cars were produced in the world, about half of them in Germany.
These cars were originally produced in Germany at a factory in Saarlouis near the French border, and then for several decades in Cologne.
The end of the production of this model is explained by the need to make room for the production of electric cars at the Cologne plant.
“Ford” is currently investing almost two billion euros in the Cologne plant to adapt it to the production of new electric models.
“Ford Fiesta” cars were especially popular in Southern European countries such as Italy and Greece.
These cars enjoyed their greatest popularity in the 1990s, but after that their success gradually declined.
