1987 Ford Taurus “The Taurus”
About the 1986–1991 Ford Taurus
from the generation archive
The First-Gen Taurus shows up here in all stages of life — from clean 1990 sedans posing at Pacific Grove to trunks with rust stains and loose wiring waiting on restoration, plus a 1989 mid-engine swap caught with the motor on the hoist. Whether it's pairs parked in lots sporting grille stripes, gold and dark green sedans on gravel driveways, or owners laying down blue masking for bodywork, these builds capture what real First-Gen Taurus ownership looks like.
