What happened to all the Ford Escorts that used to be on the roads?

These things were everywhere. I assume most of them have been recycled into Kias and Chinese bridges by now?
As an aside: I imagine it would be very difficult to restore a 'non-enthusiast' car like this to factory new condition.

I knew someone who had a pretty long commute in to work in Baton Rouge, and they bought one as a cheap ride that would save on gas.
The reason I remember it is the damned thing had no AC! That went a little far in the money-saving department for me.

They all sucked and littered junk yards everywhere.

As soon as one was driven off the lot, the car's actual cash value depreciated below the scrap value.

I seen a lot them in the road back then.
My wife had 1989 hatchback that we finally sold in 1995. It was a decent car for the money. We bought hers the same time I bought my 1989 Ford Ranger 4x4.
Funniest thing I saw was four heavy weights get out of one on a military base I was stationed at. Once they got out the car raised up about 8 inches.

Did driver's ed in one of those. God, it sucked. Damned thing could barely get to 60 mph to get onto the interstate.
