For 1972, the Torino was redesigned using many characteristics carried over from the previous generation.
The 1972 Torino styling emphasized the "long hood short deck" look and had strong elements of coke bottle styling.
The Torino line-up was revamped with three models "Torino," "Gran Torino" and "Gran Torino Sport." The most radical change was a large eggcrate grille in an oval opening on Gran Torinos.
