Ford’s primary full-size offering in the mid-70s was the LTD, a big sedan, wagon, or two-door coupe marketed as an affordable luxury sedan. Drawing design cues from Mercury and Lincoln, LTD, buyers got everything they needed but for less money (via Hemmings).

For 1977, the LTD line was redesigned and still sold well, although the end for luxury cruisers was in sight. The standard engine was 351 V8, but many customers opted for 400 and 460 V8, although the latter only delivered 197 hp.
