Ford is a world brand. While Ford originated early on in the USA, it well established itself as a manufacturer in other countries to the point they really are a native brand for those markets.

Cortinas, Capris, Sierras and Scorpios (Badged as Mekurs) were captive imports sold in the USA.

Shush now one is his cousin and one is his baby sister 😂😂😂

Fords have always been sold as Fords all over the world and within recent times better unified their model offerings so less of them are region specific.

Most all cars were gutless then.

I can’t stop laughing at this one! This is how I’m going to see it the rest of my life!

The current Toyota emblem looks lovely monogrammed onto a doiley for the headrest of Granny’s Avalon but I prefer the classic stylized ”T” emblem.

It’s the hypnotic badge that looks like a propeller spinning that lures people into buying them to perform douchebaggary acts.

They were as a way to transition the names just to letters without anyone saying the old names out loud. It’s like when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed to just KFC. Initially though Deville DTS was on the cars then they dropped the Deville nameplate leaving DTS. It’s just understood DTS is the predecessor indicated by…

He’d be a great replacement for Roseanne too LOL!

The stalk only moves fore and aft, not up and down...

Try waving your middle finger instead if you want acknowledgement

Actually the move to Deville DTS and Seville STS was a transition to wean people from the old names and start usng the three letter designations. The CTS was all new and while under development it was referred to as the Catera but they decided to drop the Catera name at the last minute and just go with CTS to lead as…

Standard of GM circa 2000s.

I was just marveling at the Interior by Fisher Price as well. Whomever said it looked like it had a desktop tower nailed it. So low rent like it belongs in a Chevy Malibu of the same vintage. The Camry has a look much more evocative of luxury and quality and it is not even a luxury car. When my sister bought her 2002…

Most people really have no understanding of GMs regular production option codes for building its vehicles on the assembly lines. All codes to build a vehicle are assigned three character alpha numeric codes. These codes used to be printed out on the build sheet that accompanies the vehicle down the assembly line so…

I thought manufacturers learned in the 1980s to apply rustproofing techniques so their vehicles would not turn into iron and steel dust after five years.

You wouldn’t need a tent attachment if you were smart enough to buy the Vega Kammback wagon. I prefer the style of the Ford Pinto Cruising wagon with its solid rear quarter window panel inserts and bubbled porthole windows (also available as sedan delivery stripped down inside with no porthole windows). Of course…

Because tying your shoes requires privacy just in case one of your balls falls out of your shorts from lifting your leg up to do so.
