How many here also own a classic Ford?
I always pay attention to the other members on all auto forums when this subject comes to light in different posts.
Is it just me or do the Ford guy seem to be more one brand loyal? I notice there seems to be more cross over or dual ownership of classic Chevys and Mopars than most other brands.
What do you think and what do you have? Not just Fords but what ever else brand you have.

I’ve had 2 66 Mustangs, a red fastback and a silver frost convertible - loaded with all the options. Pony interior with wood grain, rally pack and A/C. Both gone to new owners now.

Grew up in a Ford family...we had a '64 Galaxie 500 and a '66 Mustang back in the '60's....I sold the Galaxie in 1994 with 170,000 trouble free miles on it. Still drove like a bank vault---quiet and solid. Factory AC blew ice cold on original fill freon, too. Miss that car.Had a '61 T-Bird that was very cool.....Have had a 1915 Model T for the past 13 years, it goes to its new owner next month. Have always liked Fords, from the T's to the pre-war coupes to the mid-fifties Rancheros and have a soft spot for the '60-'61 Starliiners and '61-'64 Galaxies with big engines. The build quality is impressive. Always wanted a '65-'66 Mustang GT Fastback with a 4 speed. . Liked them then, like them now. Not into the '67 and up Mustangs for some reason. Have a lot of friends that are Blue Oval for life, though. My first car was a 4 speed '66 GTO......and I've had GTO's ever since, so for the past 40 years. Did own an original paint red '66 4 speed Dodge Coronet 440 in the '90's with a 440 and a Sure Grip out back.....fast but cheesy build quality. Next car in my sights: '36-'38 Buick Century business coupe/'36-'47 Cadillac coupe/'35-'40 Ford coupe. Probably will go with a '39 or '40 Ford Standard Coupe....stock or modded in the '50's. Too many cars, too little time!!

The 'T' didn't load...try again, since there aren't too many brass cars on this particular site......
1915 Ford T, original engine, std. bore, cast date Feb 10, 1515, 103 years old and still chuggin' along.

My wife's '66 Mustang convertible, pony interior, that her Dad restored.
Ive never had a non-Winter car Ford, but I am in the market for a Pantera. Not finding one yet, though.
