About the Ford Granada Mk1 Metallic Blue Matt Black MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Ford Granada Mk1 in metallic blue with matt black trim reproduces Ford's 1970s European executive sedan as a sealed one-piece casting. Mid-tier diecast execution at an accessible price point. A useful entry into 1970s Ford collecting.
Ford's original Granada gave European buyers a genuine executive alternative to Mercedes and BMW saloons during the mid-1970s, and MCG's diecast rendition captures the car's formal, slab-sided proportions in a two-tone finish typical of the period.
MCG's Diecast Build at This Price Tier
The zinc alloy body gives this Granada real heft for its size, the density that distinguishes a die-cast sedan from a lighter plastic toy on the same shelf. The panels are sealed on this casting, so every detail lives on the exterior: the character line running the length of the doors, the matt black lower cladding meeting the metallic blue upper body, and the chrome window surrounds that define the Granada's formal look. At this tier, expect panel gaps a touch wider than costlier resin work and a paint finish that reads accurately from a normal viewing distance without the deepest possible clear coat. That is an honest tradeoff for a mid-tier price, and MCG's execution holds the Granada's proportions faithfully, which is what a subject like this one needs most.
A 1970s Executive Ford on Display
At roughly 25 centimeters in 1:18, the Granada's long hood and boxy trunk give it real shelf presence among other 1970s European sedans. The Mk1 generation predates the more common Mk2 seen in later collector circles, making this an earlier and less-represented chapter of the Granada story. Its two-tone metallic blue and matt black finish was a genuinely period-correct combination, distinguishing it from the single-color liveries more typical of the segment. Displayed alongside contemporaries from BMW or Mercedes, it makes the case that Ford competed seriously in the executive segment before shifting focus elsewhere. Because the body is sealed, care stays simple: keep it dusted and out of direct light to preserve the metallic finish over years of display.
