  • The Ford Pinto is a subcompact automobile that was produced by the Ford Motor Company for the 1971–1980 model years. The car's name derives from the Pinto horse. Initially offered as a two-door sedan, Ford offered "Runabout" hatchback and wagon models the following year, competing in the U.S. market with the AMC Gremlin and Chevrolet Vega, as well as imported cars from Volkswagen, Datsun, and Toyota. By January 1971, the Pinto had sold over 100,000 units. In its last model year, Ford built 68,179 units. A rebadged variant, the Mercury Bobcat, debuted in 1974 in Canada and in March 1975 in the US. The Pinto and the smaller, imported Ford Fiesta were ultimately replaced by the front-wheel-drive Ford Escort. The Pinto's legacy was affected by controversy surrounding the safety of its fuel tank design and Ford's 1978 recall of the car; legal scholar Gary T. Schwartz cites the case surrounding it as key in the evolution of modern tort law, stating that it "raises essential issues about both the form and the substance of modern products liability doctrine."
