Welcome to Ford Tempo Central, a website dedicated to Ford's two popular compacts from the 1980's, the Ford Tempo and the Mercury Topaz. These two cars would become extraordinary successes, with sales in the three millions, far surpassing competition from General Motors, Chrysler Corporation, Nissan Motors and even Toyota Motor Corporation. This website is created to bring some rightful acknowledgment to Ford's 'Escort CE14' cars from 1984 to 1994. -C.S.D.
