3. Ford EXP
You probably have heard of the Ford Mustang and the Thunderbird, but do you know about the Ford EXP? Ford presented it in 1983 as a compact sports coupe they built on the Ford Escort chassis and with front-wheel-drive. Although the design was ugly, it was compact with only two seats. That made it the first Ford two-seater since the original Thunderbird in 1955 to ’57.
The production lasted until 1988 and the EXP received mixed reviews. Its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine produced only 88 HP, which wasn’t enough for any serious performance figures.
