In honor of their little hatchback's 35th birthday, Ford has thrown a party to mark the occasion as well as to celebrate a total of 15 million units having been built since its launch. It was back in 1976 when Ford debuted the first Fiesta and has since enjoyed international success, primarily in Europe.

With 35 years behind it, the Fiesta doesn't show any signs of slowing down. In fact, demand for the current generation is so high that a million units have been built so far since it debuted 28 months ago.
