The 50 Worst Muscle Cars That Failed to Impress

Ford Granada ESS

The Ford Granada ESS earns its place among the worst muscle cars due to a shift away from the aggressive styling and performance associated with the ESS (European Sport Sedan) designation. Introduced in the late ’70s, the ESS featured a more subdued design, sacrificing the muscular attributes that defined its predecessors. Its modest power and departure from the traditional muscle car image make the Granada ESS a regrettable deviation in Ford’s muscle car history.
