Dad:
1940 Ford Sold it when he entered the Navy
1954 Ford Customliner
1949 Ford (He sold/traded the '54 to a co-worker that needed a car BAD, for the '49. Dad just needed a car for his 'deal' as a trade-in.)
(He hasn't owned a Ford since.)

Me:
1977 F-150 4x4 Custom
1978 Mustang (T-Tops leaked like they were made of 'screen'.) JUNK car!
1979 Mustang (Ford swapped the '78 for the '79. They didn't want to eat the '78 that I parked in front of their dealership 'suspended by a crane' 50 feet above their heads!!!) That stunt almost cost me $1,000 in fines. The cops had a sense of humor.
2000 Ranger 4x4

My dad worked for Ford until 1968, so that's what I grew up with. I think I was indoctrinated very well. Dad's list is too long to remember, but here's my list of vehicles.

1973 Mercury Capri - bought used in 1980
1981 Ford Escort GT - New 1981
1974? Plymouth Scamp - gift from wife's cousin to finish school 1982 (it was free, but I paid for it in breakdowns) - replaced Capri which had died
1983 Ford Ranger XL 4x2 - New 1983 - replaced Scamp which burnt up the wiring harness as it's final act of defiance
1972 Honda CB750
1986 Ford Tarus MT5 - New 1986 - Replaced Escort
1969 Intl Scout with a plow - used 1988?
1988 Ford Areostar Eddie Bauer extended - Used 1992 - Replaced Ranger
1974 Intl Scout - 1990 traded 72 Honda - moved plow from older Scout - Sold both Scouts in 1992
1994 Ford Taurus GL - Used 1995 - Replaced MT5
1996 Ford Aerostar XLT Extended - New 1996 - replaced 1988 Aerostar & sold 94 Taurus to my mother-in-law
1988 Lincoln Town Car - used 1997
2000 Excursion XLT - new 1999 - replaced Lincoln
1994 F350 CC XLT 4x2 - used 2001 - Aerostar totaled 2 months later
2002 Ford Focus - new 2002
2004 Ford E150 Cargo - new 2004 - replaced F350
2000 Ford E450 Cube Van - used 2005 - used when the E150 isn't big enough.

Plus 1 travel trailer, 3 boat/jet ski trailers, 2 utility trailers( riding mower & Ford 1720 4wd tractor) and 2 enclosed cargo trailers. Last year my tag renewal documents came in a flat envelope stamped "fleet regitration".

1981 F150 4x4
1985 F250 4x4 (diesel)
1986 F150 4x4
1982 F150 4x4
1993 F150 4x2
1989 F250 4x4 (diesel)
1991 F250 4x2
1995 F250 4x2 (sc)
1999 F250 4x4 (sd, sc)
2002 Expedition 4x4
1991 F350 4x4 (cc)
2001 F250 4x2 (sc)

Oh yeah, We've had a few Chevy's, too.

1989 K3500 (ex cab)
1991 C1500
1992 K2500 (ex cab)
1994 C1500 (ex cab)
1998 K1500 (ex cab)
2001 K1500hd (cc)
2002 C1500 (ex cab)
2003 K2500
2005 Impala

Interestingly enough, all of the Chevy's were bought new, but only the 85 and 93 Fords were. My wife had a Cutlass Supreme when we got married (an 87 maybe) but it got swapped for a pickup soon enough - before that she had a turbo 305 Firebird...I loved that car... Anyway, looking at this makes me realize how terribly bad I've had the dreaded new (or at least different) truck disease. It's an expensive ailment...

1983 F-250 4wd 300 I-6 4-speed 1st Truck I had when I was 16. It was a tank, and rode like one as well! Could get it back if I wanted to bad enough.

1984 F-150 4wd 300 I-6 C6 auto, Stepside bed with a very nice oak floor in the bed (till the 2nd winter came anyway). Truck was painted Ford Blue after I graduated High School. Replaced the engine just shy of 200,000 miles. Never touched the tranny except for normal service and when I sold the truck at 250,000 miles it still ran great. The truck has since been across the US and back twice with only brakes and normal service done to it plus a set of tires. I think it was powered by an Energizer!

1980 Bronco 4wd 351 Windsor, C6. It was a snowplow truck near Chicago in it's former life. LOTS of RUST, used as a beater! Bought for $50.

1992 F-150 4wd Supercab XLT 300 I-6 5-speed

1995 Ranger 4wd, XL, 2.3L 4 cyl, 5 speed (I would realy like to have this truck back, 25 mpg all the time, very light truck would go anywhere) bought to use and put LOTs of miles on

1996 Ranger 2wd supercab, XLT 3.0 V-6 5-speed

2004 F-150 XLT 4x4(manual shift 4x4) regular cab Stepside 4.6 V-8 auto trans. Black with lots of chrome and stainless steel rocker panel.

As far as I know nobody in my family ever had Ford other than my uncle who had mid 1990s European Escort or Sierra, I'm not sure which one it was. I lived in Europe until 6 years ago and Ford is not very popular there.
