Default What 'non' Ford do you really really like?

Hey FF,

Not sure if this has been done before or not - but was wondering if anyone else has a strange fascination or really likes a car that isn't a Ford?

Mine are below:



I love the 90s Rolls Royce / Bentley sedans. I don't know what it is about them, but I've always wanted one. They are relatively affordable ($25k-$35k) but i've never found the time to research them properly to work out how hard they are to live with.

The other one that I really like is the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner.

Definetly would have to be the 440 6-Pack / Pistol Grip.

Anyone else got a car or two they'll admit they like - that doesn't wear the Blue Oval?
