In 1983, Hot Wheels debuted the '''Ford Escort''', a replica of the Ford Escort XR3. To those in North America, the Escort was something new and with the GT model, something somewhat exciting. Meanwhile, in Europe the Escort was already a well-known name, as the [['70 Ford Escort RS1600|Original Escort]] had debuted way back in 1968 and the XR3 was by then in its third generation of the name (of note, the XR3 name was used only in the European market).
