The fourth-generation Cortina had a somewhat more conventional design than its predecessor and was built between 1976 and 1979. Although it was considered by many to be a facelift for the third generation, the Mark IV was actually a Ford Taurus with a Cortina badge, featuring the same interior and running gear.
