Frequently asked questions
- What transmission was standard on the 1982 Ford LTD?
- The Automatic Overdrive Transmission (AOD) was standard. It adds a fourth overdrive gear that engages at about 40 mph, providing a direct mechanical drive that eliminates much torque converter slippage and reduces engine rpm by approximately one-third.
- Did the 1982 Ford LTD have halogen headlamps?
- Yes. The LTD's dual rectangular headlamps were the new halogen design, which Ford states emit a brighter, whiter light than conventional sealed beam lamps and are more efficient.
- What corrosion warranty came with the 1982 Ford LTD?
- Ford backed the corrosion protection system with a 3-year unlimited mileage corrosion perforation warranty, detailed on page 16 of the brochure.
- What is the 3-Way Magic Doorgate on the 1982 LTD Station Wagon?
- It provides 3-way access to the rear of the wagon: it opens like a door with the power tailgate window up or down, or like a conventional tailgate providing an extension of the load floor, and works with optional Dual Facing Rear Seats.
- Which 1982 LTD models got the Super Luxury Sound Insulation Package?
- It was standard on the LTD Crown Victoria and included with the Interior Luxury Group option on the LTD Country Squire; the regular Luxury Sound Insulation Package was standard on every LTD sedan and wagon.
