I originally did this as a reply to the oil thread but didn;t want to hijack it.
Hey Fabs... there ARE other car companies out there BESIDES Ford.
Man I always considered the blue oval on the grill a factory defect.
And I have owned a few too so I am not just spouting either...
1980 Merc Capri
1978 LTD
1976 LTD
1977 Pinto
1973 Maverick
1976 F-250 Highboy
1983 F-150
1988 Sable
That is my Ford history off the top of me head. The Maverick and the Highboy were the only two decent ones in the pile.
