Best: Ford Thunderbird (1955-1957)
The first time the Ford Thunderbird was introduced as a seat of a two-seat convertible that Ford produced for the 1955 to 1957 model year, it was the first 2-seat Ford introduced since 1938. It was developed in 1953. Motorama displayed it at the New York Auto Show, which showed the Chevrolet Corvette. And it was introduced to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette in the two-door car segment. The car had everything right from comfort to convenience. It came under the brand of a personal luxury car.
The Thunderbird became a great success, even piping the Corvette in the same segment. The 1955 version of the car had a 4.8 L Y-block V8 engine that ran on the power of 198 horses and ran for 60 mph in 11.5 seconds, and it was pretty impressive when it was introduced back then.
Worst: Ford Pinto 1971
The Ford Pinto, the car manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company in North, is a subcompact car manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company in North America from 1971 to 1980. The Pinto was the first subcompact vehicle that Ford produced in North America.
The Pinto is regarded as one of the worst cars ever made. Unfortunately, the car managed to kill many people since it made its debut in 1971 and sold more than 3 million units in a spate of nine years. The vehicle had several things that worked against it, including the horrible build quality that burst into flames even at a rear-end collision. Instead of focusing on the solution, Ford paid off millions in damages as it cost them less than what the injuries would have cost them.
Best: Ford F-100 (1953-1956)
There is something about the 1956 Ford F-100 pick-up. Because of this, it had such instant acceptance and went on to cater to most people who love classic trucks? It wasn't the only power that made it to the list of favorites, as it had all the standard features, namely the flathead V-8 and the rugged outer features.
The Ford F Series has sold over 40 million units over some time. It is one of the best cars in the North American market and is one of the second-most selling cars in the world. The second-generation car of the 1953 to 1956 years is regarded as pretty iconic. It is unarguably one of the best-looking trucks to hit the roads. Apart from its unique looks, it also has a robust chassis and a bankable engine that boasts 137 hp 6-cylinder to 170 hp Y-block V8 to notch up a 300 hp powerplant over the years.
Worst: Ford Edsel (1958-1960)
On November 19, 1959, the Ford Motor Company announced to the world that they would discontinue production of all Edsel cars. The announcement announced a company statement because it experienced poor sales reports for the 1958-1959 Edsel line. Auto historians disregard the 1960 Edsel as a car; many would say it represents a historical lowlight in Ford's storied history.
Ford conceived the Edsel project in the hope of creating an upscale market for the American carmaker and introduced the famous Falcon and Mercury Comet models in 1960, catering to the consumer market. The car introduced to the consumer as a master of all finally turned out to be a dud. It had all kinds of problems, such as oil leaks to stuck buttons, and everything worked in its favor. The car ran into huge losses leading to $350 million at that time.
Best: Ford GT40 (1964-1969)
The Ford GT40 is one of the best collectible postwar American cars. There are countless colorful stories and characters surrounding the model's development; the GT40 boasts excellent on-track performance and execution of the mission, and the car's purity lends it a larger-than-life persona.
Ford GT was born to pose as a rival and beat Ferrari in the process, and it did manage to beat Ferrari at the Le Man's competition at least four times, from 1966 to 1969. It is said that Henry Ford II was on the verge of buying a Ferrari, but at the last moment, Enzo Ferrari changed his mind leading to a livid Henry Ford II who vowed to create a car better than Ferrari.
Worst: Ford Bronco II (1984-1990)
To go back down the history of the Ford Bronco II history, it emerged in the scene of 1983 when the SUV craze was just starting. Some of the cars that jostled for primacy in this space were Jeep "XJ" Cherokee, Toyota's 4Runner, and Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, which were brand-new models; the latter two were available as two-door vehicles. Ford had its two-door off-roader, the 1984 Bronco II.
The Pinto's SUV version, the Bronco II, quickly became one of the most exciting to one of the worst cars in the segment; there were rollover accidents caused by several shortcomings such as a short wheelbase and narrow track, and a tall center of gravity. It is said that stability issues surfaced during the design and verification phase. Even at slow speeds as 20 mph, there were rollover accidents that went on to kill around 800 people. Ford had to cough up approximately $113 million to settle injury and death lawsuits.
Best: 2017 Ford Focus RS
The Ford Focus RS is arguably one of the best cars in recent times; that boasts a turbocharged 2.3-L inline 4-cylinder boasting 350 horses under the hood, and the 2017 Focus RS is a class apart in the segment compact hatchback.
The car has features like a 2.3-L EcoBoost engine (much like the 2017 Mustang) and combines a six-speed manual transmission with a torque-vectoring AWD system to boost the speed as high as 165 mph and can run in 0-60 time in just 4.6 seconds! It also has a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system explicitly catering to the rally-car shenanigans. It also has Ford's racier setup, which can be one of the most entertaining driver's tools.
Worst: Ford Thunderbird (1980-1982)
The eighth generation of the Ford Thunderbird, a personal luxury coupe manufactured and marketed by Ford eight from 1980 to 1982 model years. It was introduced in the 25th year of the Thunderbird, and the eighth generation was downsized to a great extent that helped it graduate into the mid-size segment. For a second generation, the Thunderbird came to be regarded as the Ford counterpart of the Mercury Cougar XR7; At the same time, the Cougar turned out to be the mid-size Mercury line. The Thunderbird fell into the category of the two-door personal luxury coupe. It was the fuel crisis in the 70s that led to its downfall.
Ford had to cut down its size and transform it into the Fairmont. This transition from a luxurious full-size icon to a skinny mid-size vehicle wasn't taken well by the consumers.
Best: Ford Mustang (1965-73)
Introduced way back in 1964 at a base price of $2368, the Mustang was perfect for entry-level buyers with the style of a high-end European Grand Tourer with the practicality of its stablemate, the Ford Falcon. It had the sheer volume of powertrain and trim packages that helped cater to most people's needs and budgets. The Mustang could be built either as a hardtop or a convertible.
The first-gen Mustang acted as the catalyst for the pony revolution, coined the term muscle car, and became a household name in North America. The Mustang nameplate started in 1964 and evolved into an icon. The Mustang 1965 (introduced in April 1964) boasted of 4.7-L V8 powerplant that could be cranked up to 271 horses and switched up to 60 mph from a standstill position in about 9 seconds.
Worst: Ford Focus (2012-2016)
The Ford Focus is one of the most popular choices for new drivers who want to buy a budget-friendly hatchback as their first vehicle. While it went on to sell over 13 million units by 2019, the Focus underwent several reliability issues. Certain problems started plaguing some specific models more than others.
The 2012-2016 Focuses were plagued by Ford's new automatic 'PowerShift' transmission and an exhaust system with a complicated exhaust system. The most troublesome of all the models was the 2014 Focus which had everything right from irritating grinding noises, too much vibration, jerky shifting, and even a critical electric power steering problem. It was probably because of all these faults that made it a failure.
Best: Lincoln K Series (1931-1940)
In 1931, the first Model LincolnK premiered. It had a V8 engine, which ran on 120 horsepower. The exterior design was meticulously made because of its intricacy design. The wheelbase was improved to 145 inches, and the car body was lofted onto the chassis. Even though sales volume could hardly improve, the new design had a favorable impression on the public.
The Lincoln K Series, however, wasn't just about performance. It went on to replace the L Series, it had a 6.3-L V8 and 7.3-L V12 powerplants, and the most potent powertrain churned out 150 horses. The K Series became one of the top choices and gave a run for the money to others in the segment, such as Cadillac, Packard, and Bentley, and was known to be the top choices in part.
Worst: Ford Fiesta (1978-1980)
The Ford Fiesta Mk1 is the first generation is one of the first generations of the Ford Fiesta supermini. It was introduced in 1976 and became one of Ford Europe's first multi-national front-wheel-drive automobiles. It was available in both 3-door hatchback and panel van derivatives. In 1983, the Fiesta was updated to Fiesta Mk2.
But it turned out to be a big failure for Ford. The Fiesta was put together in Europe and did not fit the bill for the US market. But Ford brought it home to compete with Volkswagen Rabbit. Although the Fiesta remained one of the best-sellers in Europe, unfortunately, its performance made it one of the worst Fords ever.
Best: Shelby GT350 (1965-1966)
The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance version of the Ford Mustang built by Carroll Shelby from 1965 to 1967 by the Ford Motor Company. In 2005, Ford revived the Shelby nameplate for a high-performance model of the fifth-generation Ford Mustang.
The Shelby GT350 became a winner thanks to its numerous features, which were lightweight and aerodynamic, and was stripped of all convenience features that could go down on its prospects of being a track conquerer. It boasted of a 4.7-L V8 powerplant that produced almost 306 horses at the crank, leading to 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds. Its stylish looks also worked in its favor. No wonder it is one of the most successful Fords to cater to the consumers.
Worst: Ford Mustang II (1974-1978)
The second-generation Ford Mustang was introduced as the Ford Mustang II, a two- or three-door, four-passenger, front-engine/rear-drive pony car manufactured and marketed by Ford from 1973 to 1978. Introduced in September 1973 for the model year 1974, the Mustang II arrived roughly during the time of the oil embargo of 1973 and subsequent fuel shortages.
The Mustang II was Ford's last-ditch effort to sell more vehicles. It was launched with big plans but fizzled out soon after. Mustang sales had been dropping as the car grew, but Ford couldn't come up with a suitable solution as they also started to do away with some specific features that gave Mustand its name. Some of its features spelled bad news for the car and contributed to its dipping sales.
Best: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
The Ford Raptor is a nameplate that Ford Motor Company used for its high-performance pick-up trucks and SUVs. The model line is intended as a street-legal counterpart of an off-road racing trophy truck. Since it started in the 2010 model year and the Raptor was designated as one of the highest-performance versions of the F-150, Ranger, and Bronco. The F-150 Raptor has now gone into the third generation; the Ranger Raptor was introduced in 2019 (in markets outside North America), while the Bronco Raptor was introduced in 2021.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is one of the more significant and already-iconic Ford F-15pick-ups ups. This full-size, all-wheel-drive truck's power has gone to an all-new level because of its twin-turbo 3.5-L V6 engine with a 10-speed auto transmission. It is a huge car that can haul anything you keep in it. It has impressive power and off-roading capabilities too.
Worst: Ford Fairmont (1978-1983)
The Ford Fairmont is a model line of compact cars that came from the stable Ford from 1978 to 1983. The successor of the Ford Maverick, the Fairmont is the third generation of compact sedans that Ford sold in North America, and the first design is no longer based on the Ford Falcon.
The 1978 version of the Ford Fairmont was rather dull. Its unattractive squareness traveled to the interior, with various other features such as the dashboard gauges and an uncomfortable front seat. Apart from its parts, the performance was also not up to the mark. The engine had an underpowering 2.3L (140 cu-in) inline-4 that could only show 88 hp. The Ford Fairmont car proved to be a significant overall failure.
Best: Ford V8 (1932-1934)
Ford is a car brand that has been around for the longest time. While the Model T was a car that introduced the vehicles to the masses, The Model A added style along with substance to the 4-cylinder structure. The Ford Model B underwent many changes in look and feel over the years. The iconic 1932 Ford Model B was not a good seller back in the day, but nowadays, it has become quite a craze.
The Americans introduced power and performance to the Americans with the 1932 Ford. It was named as Ford V8. It has a 221 cu-in (3.6-L) flathead V8 engine rated at 65 hp; it was one of the first cars to have a V8 and was labeled as a reliable and hit in the automobile industry.
Worst: Ford EXP (1982-1988)
The Ford EXP is a sports compact coupe produced and sold by the Ford Motor Company in North America for the 1982 to 1988 model years. It has many similar mechanical components to the contemporary Ford Escort. The EXP made its debut at the 1981 Chicago Auto Show.
The first-generation EXP went into production in 1981 and got a facelift in the 1985 model year. The model was changed in the 1988 model year. In 1989 the Ford Probe (two-door, front-wheel-drive) hatchback was launched. However, the EXP lacked purpose, was underwhelming at 70 hp, and introduced nothing new. Buyers disapproved of the same, hence its spiraling downfall. The EXP was finally discontinued in 1988 because of its various faltering features.
Best: 1949 Ford Custom
The 1949 Ford is a line of cars that Ford produced from 1949 to 1951. From 1946 to 1948, each American Big automobile company concentrated on improving car production, offering updated versions of their 1941-1942 model lines. It was released in June 1948, and the 1949 Ford was the first primary postwar American car line.
The 1949 Ford is one of the vehicles that saved Ford from going bankrupt in the immediate post-war period. It was Ford's first post-war vehicle that was revamped into a new design, one that revived the American auto industry for the next 35 years. It was created by the automotive designer George Walker, the new 'envelope' design and its inimitable styling turned out to be one of the best post-war era cars, and the automaker went on to sell around 1,118,762 1949 Fords.
Best: Ford Maverick (2022)
The Ford Maverick is a comp pick-up-up truck produced by Ford Motor Company. It was first released on June 8, 2021, as the smallest truck that came out of its manufacturing plants. The Maverick is based on a front-wheel drive-based unibody platform that was shared with the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport and also offered a hybrid powertrain as standard and considered a conventional turbo engine as an option.
Ford Maverick became such a hit that the auto manufacturer announced to stop taking orders! Consumers could not have enough to afford a pick-up truck, and its requirement escalated in early 2022 at a much higher rate than Ford had thought of. After the popular Ford Ranger production in 2012, this was an affordable option for people.
Worst: Ford Th!NK City (2002-2012)
With a name like that, it is sure to draw attention, The Ford Th! Nk City was hardly even a car when it was introduced. It was more of a micro-electric vehicle and was introduced in the market from TH!NK Mobility is a Norwegian carmaker who teamed up with Ford to develop a car like that.
However, bad news for the Norweigian carmaker and Ford, Th! Nk City did not work, as it was cramped and impractical, and the price of the car was way too much; it also offered just a range of 50 miles. It also dabbled with many other issues and had to be revamped several times. Ford stopped production in 2003, and TH!NK Global had to declare that they were bankrupt in 2011.
Worst: Ford Gran Torino Elite (1974-1976)
The Ford Elite is a personal luxury car from the stable of Ford and marketed in North America from February 1974 to 1976, like the Gran Torino Elite that was used in the first year. Based on the model of Torino, the mid-size two-door coupe was supposed to be a less expensive Thunderbird alternative to compete with the increasingly popular cars in the segment, such as Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Dodge Charger and Chrysler Cordoba. It was based on a Mercury platform, the concurrent Cougar XR-7, much like the Mustang 2.
The critical difference from Cougar XR-7 was that the mildly restyled front end looked like the Thunderbird. The Gran Torino Elite was not a T-bird at all. It was deafening and had loads of faults.
Best: 1982 Ford Mustang GT
In 1982 Ford introduced a new high-performance version of the Mustang known as the GT. The car was only available in 3-door hatchback form. The engine was standard (302) with a 2V Motorcraft carburation. The car also had a front dam, cast-aluminum wheels, and hood scoop (non-functional). It works because it is the lowest-priced GTs available and boasts modest performance.
The 82 GT brought the Mustang to its former glory and was quickly one of the best Ford cars ever. It is also called the best Mustang with a Fox-body design and is a pioneer of sorts as far as modern-day muscle cars. While the 1981 Mustang had a 4.2-L engine and 115 horsepower, the 82 Mustang GT had a 4.9-L V8 engine.
Worst: Ford Explorer (1991-2002)
The Ford Explorer went on to cause 330 deaths for one technical reason. The Explorer was introduced as a replacement for the two-door Bronco II in the first four-door SUV that Ford produced. The Explorer is stationed between the Ford Edge and Ford Expedition within the current Ford light truck range. The Ford Explorer was one of the reasons that popularized the SUV. When it hit the market for the 1991 model year, it followed the Jeep Cherokee and Chevrolet S-10 Blazer as it offers off-road capability and rugged styling that offers family-friendly utility.
The Ford Explorer turned out to be one of Ford's biggest failures. After Ford got blamed for the accidents at the Firestone tires used in the Explorers and ended the 90-year-long partnership with the tire manufacturer because of the controversy. Congress chose to side with Ford.
Best: Ford GT (2017-2022)
Ford GT is closer to the iconic GT40 and is a limited-production supercar. It was made of 1350 units planned for its second generation, which caused a debut in 2017 and will end with the 2022 model. While the first-gen GT (2005-2006) was regarded as a rockstar, the second generation is said to be more iconic.
It is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-L V6 EcoBoost engine (which has a modified version of the one used in the Ford F-150 Raptor); the 2022 GT spits out an insane 660 hp and starts with at the top speed of 216 mph and a 0-60 time and made in 3 seconds!
Worst: Ford Contour (1996-2000)
Ford launched the car, Contour to substitute the Tempo in the North American market and went on to make a tremendous impact in the compact sedan segment. This Ford, the US version of the Belgian-built Ford Mondeo, made its debut in 1992 and slowly and indeed turned out to be a best-seller in Europe.
But why did the Contour didn't work? Because it wasn't too bad a car. Because it was handled well, and it did have an excellent interior. However, the price is higher than the other cars in the segment, and because of faulty transmission, it stopped being made after 2000, which is a pity since it showed great promise at its debut.
Best: Lincoln Continental (1961–1969)
The Lincoln Continental, from the Ford Motor Company, is a series of mid-sized and full-sized luxury cars that Lincoln produces. It is a division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company. The model line was introduced as it followed the construction of a personal vehicle for Edsel Ford, who commissioned a coach built-in 1939 with a Lincoln-Zephyr convertible. It was developed as a vacation vehicle to attract more people to buy the Lincoln cars.
Lincoln Continental is one of the longest nameplates in the auto world, and it got the recognition it deserved with its fourth generation since it made its debut in 1961. Though it was a bit shorter than its predecessor, it was more delicate in all aspects. It has many features such as clean styling, beautiful amenities, and a 7-L V8 powerplant that was good for 300 horses and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Worst: Ford Taurus (1996-1999)
The third-generation Ford Taurus is an automobile that came from the Ford stable and lasted from 1996 to 1999. It was slotted between the compact Ford Contour and full-size Ford Crown Victoria; the third-generation Taurus turned out to be a four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon and was marketed alongside the Mercury Sable. The redesign gave the Taurus its first complete exterior redesign since its 1986 introduction.
Once, it was regarded as one of the best-selling cars in America, but in its 3rd Generation, Taurus met a sad fate. The exterior and interior were great and made it into the insanely mid-size sedan segment, but unfortunately, it did not work for them, and Ford has not tried the sedan segment since then.
Best: 1966 Shelby Cobra 427
The AC Cobra, sold in the United States as the Shelby Cobra and AC Shelby Cobra, is a sports car manufactured by British company AC Cars and comes with a Ford V8 engine. It was produced intermittently in both the United Kingdom and later the United States in 1962.
It is one of the most iconic American sports cars. The designer of the car was no one but Carroll Shelby himself, and it was produced from 1962 to 1967. It was said to set fire on the racing track and turn out to be a true blue Italian rival. The standard 427 V8 provides an impressive 425 horsepower, with a top speed of 164 mph and a 0-60 time of 3.5 SHORT seconds!
Worst: Ford Ecosport (2018-2022)
The first Generation of Ford Ecosport was nothing to write home about. However, the second generation was even worse than the first one. This subcompact SUV fizzled out and nosedived from the pedestal of the highly competitive class.
The car surprisingly turned out to be relatively lackluster, majorly because it did not have the correct number of safety features and its fuel efficiency was below par at best. It features pretty high in the worst cars list of Ford cars. The sales kept plummeting, and Ford soon decided that they would stop making the car altogether. The 2022 version is going to be the last version of the model. It's a real pity that it did not live up to its name!
Best: 1969 Ford Capri
The Ford Capri was designed in a way that it would turn out to be the European equivalent of the Ford Mustang. It was unveiled to the public in 1969 and marketed as a cheap, fast, and fun car catered to the blue-collar working man. It turned out to be a highly successful model for Ford, continued to be produced even in the eighties, and sold around 1.9-million units across in its 17-year production run.
The car's tagline was 'the car you've always promised yourself,' the Capri enjoyed massive success across Europe and the UK during its entire lifetime and still enjoys great popularity today. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019 and enjoyed a great fan following.
Worst: Ford Tempo (1988-1994)
It is labeled as a fast car from the Ford stable but also accelerates for no rhyme and reason, even when you do not press the accelerator. For this reason, it is known as a thorn in Ford's side. The Tempo began with a bang. It was one of the first cars to provide a driver's airbag. But despite the installation, it used to blow up in the face.
The first Generation of Tempo sold more than 400,000 units in 1984, the year it was launched. It was Ford's way of economizing the lineup and became one of the cars that kept the company afloat in its worst phases. But the second Generation of Ford was when the trouble began, right from faulty ignition and steering problems. It was 1994 when Ford had to stop producing the cars because its demand nosedived to an all-time low.
Best: Ford Escort RS2000
Ford Escort is a humble, family-oriented Ford Escort sold en masse throughout its life cycle, with 4.1 million units being made before it was finally phased out to make way for its more modern and long-overdue replacement, the Focus. During its run, the Ford Escort had several notable sporting versions, but it is the RS2000 that was a fan favorite.
The Ford Escort was more popular in Europe than in the USA. It's one of the top-selling vehicles, and the first version available in 1968 proved to be one of the most iconic models. The features include a turbocharged 1.8-L 4-cylinder engine that promised 250 horses and 220 pound-feet of torque, helping it run at 60 mph from a standing position in just 3.8 seconds!
Worst: Ford Festive (1986-1990)
The Ford Festiva was designed by Mazda primarily for the market of Europe and Australia. When it was made for the North American market, it was made by Kia and was marketed by Ford. When it was new, the Festiva was one of the cheapest cars you could buy in America and was affordable and fuel-efficient above all else. It had a boxy shape and was powered by a 1.3 liter SOHC four-cylinder engine that made tire-smoking 63 horsepower.
Although the three auto giants from three countries came together to make this car, the final product turned out to be vastly inferior. Everything about it, from its looks to its underwhelming engine, didn't work for the riders. The special features include a tachometer and cloth seats. Yes, it didn't impact the car-crazy people and fizzled out of the market.
Best: Ford Transit
The Ford Transit vans were the best-selling medium van and are widely regarded as one of the best all-rounder vans on the market. It has everything working for it is practical, reliable, efficient & competitively priced.
The Ford transit or T-series, popularly known, has been a favorite among Europeans. It made its debut in 1965 and sold almost 8.5 million Transit vans. They may not be as popular as the Ford trucks, and the Transit vans are one of the most popular vans in the F-series. These vans do a lot of grunt work around the globe and turn out to be one of the best vans for car lovers who want the best of both worlds, comfort and fuel efficiency.
Worst: Ford Probe (1989-1997)
The Probe is a global sports coupe introduced by Ford in 1989 to replace their own EXP model in the United States and establish itself in Europe. It was based on the Mazda MX-6 platform and was launched by both Ford and Mazda. The first-gen model was introduced in 1988 and was manufactured right after. It sold till 1993 when the model's second generation was launched.
Ford had introduced the car into the market to cut production costs, but it was rebranded differently to cater to the car enthusiasts they wanted. Probe's front-wheel-drive, absence of V8, and Japanese ancestry made Ford change it to a different vehicle. The manufacturers stopped making Probe in 1997 because of its decline in popularity.
Best: 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500
The Shelby Mustang is one of the high-performance variants of the Ford Mustang built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1967, and next, it was modified by the Ford Motor Company from 1968 to 1970. In 2005, Ford revived the Shelby nameplate and came to be one of the high-performance models of the fifth-generation Ford Mustang.
It was arguably one of the most successful Fords ever made, and the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 got a foray into the entertainment industry as it was featured in the Hollywood film, Gone in 60 seconds. It was a combination of great style and performance and boasted of horsepower of 400 horses. People became fascinated with the car thanks to the glamor quotient added to the vehicle by the stars Nicolas Cage and Angelina Julie.
Worst: Ford Windstar (1994-1998)

It was produced from 1995 to 2007 model years at least three generations of the model line were created then.
The minivan craze peaked in the early nineties, and Ford wanted to join the festival. The Winstar from the American automaker had no luck in this segment and sold a decent number when it was introduced in 1994. But complaints started to pour in; some of the problems included blowing off the head gaskets that were a result of a cooling system gone wrong, a tighter engine bay, and greater loads. The Winstar had other issues, including transmission and suspension problems.
Best: Ford Mustang (6th generation)
The sixth-generation Ford Mustang (S550) is the current iteration of the Mustang pony car that Ford manufactured. The sixth-generation Mustang has fully independent rear suspension on all models and an optional 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged and direct-injected with a cylinder powered by four engines. The new Mustang was commemorated on the fiftieth anniversary of the Ford Mustang, which was revealed in the 1965 model year vehicle on April 17, 1964.

Worst: Ford Model T (1908-1927)
The Model T was introduced to the world by Henry Ford in 1908. He wanted the car to be affordable, easy to operate, and durable. The Model T was manufactured on the Ford Motor Company's moving assembly line at Ford's revolutionary Highland Park Plant. Because of the mass production of the vehicle, Ford Motor Company sold the vehicle for $260 and $850.
Ford Model T became a part of automobile history, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst cars. When it was released in 1908, at least 31 people were killed in Detroit, which was one of the reasons that worked against its favor. The features that made it one of the worst Ford cars were the non-existent brakes, the gas tank beneath the seats, and the flat glass windshields.
Best: Ford Model T (1908-1927)
The Ford Model T is an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927, and is primarily regarded as one of the first affordable automobiles, which made car traveling accessible to middle-class Americans. The car's low price was significant because Ford's efficient fabrication and assembly line production values were much better than individual handcrafting.
Unfortunately, the car happened to kill many people. Still, the Model T will always be one of the most significant and astound ever built because it is also one of the most sold cars, with the company selling 16.5 million units making out made assembly during its 20-year run. No wonder it was one of the most affordable cars and one of the most popular cars manufactured by the Ford company.
