The Ford Elite, produced by Ford in the years 1974 to 1976, is considered to be a personal luxury car. In its first year of production, it was marketed with the name Gran Torino Elite. The vehicle was competing with the increasingly trendy intermediate personal luxury class of automobiles including the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the Buick Regal, the Chrysler Cordoba, and the Dodge Charger.

The body style of the Ford Elite is a 2-door coupe, its transmission is a 3-speed automatic, and it has an FR—or front-engine, rear-wheel-drive—layout. This layout was very traditional for automobiles in the 20th century.
The Elite name was dropped following the year 1976 due to restructuring of the Ford mid-size range for the 1977 model year. The successor of the Ford Elite was the Ford Thunderbird and Ford LTD II. Basically, the Elite continued under the more-well known title of the Thunderbird, whereas the previous full-sized Thunderbird ended up being discontinued.
