What is the Ford EXP?
The Ford EXP was a compact, two-seat coupe sold in North America. Introduced in 1982, it brought a sportier shape to Ford’s small-car range. Its front-wheel-drive layout and compact footprint suited everyday trips, especially for a driver and one passenger.
The EXP had two generations. The first ran from 1982 to 1985, and the second from 1985 to 1988. It remained a small coupe throughout its run, rather than becoming a larger family car.
