Oh and for ya'll car spotters, here are a few key differences between 1989 and 1990 Ford Tempo models:
-Graphite Metallic Gray was discontinued after model year 1989. If you see a gray Tempo of second generation vintage, you know its either a 1988 or 1989.
-The 14" Polycast wheels received gray-painted hub caps over the black ones of 1988, 1989. These rims were optional on Tempo GL, and standard on AWD and LX through 1991.
-Fender decals for Tempo AWD were added in 1990. Previously, the only indications that a Tempo was equipped with all wheel drive was the two inches extra ground clearance and a small decklid decal beneath the chrome Tempo badge. Brushed aluminum panels with Tempo AWD engraved into the door portion of the trim, was a dealer-installed option.
-Cabernet Red was discontinued after 1989, replaced by a lighter shade of red dubbed 'Medium Red'. This shade is not to be confused with the much lighter red; Wild Strawberry Metallic (a popular color choice towards the end of the Tempo/Topaz production run in the early 1990s).
