->''"Ford produced Panther-platform vehicles for 33 years for the North American market. Many of those were Crown Victorias, which borrowed the name of a short-lived Fairlane trim level of the mid-1950s. A great percentage of Panther Crown Victorias were pressed into service as police cruisers. For some readers of a certain age, Panther-based Crown Vics with light bars and police liveries are the one, true cop car--even today, seven years after Ford produced its last one."''

Whether if it's a police car patrolling the streets or a taxi you'd find in [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity Times Square]], this is certainly the car you'd probably find filling that role in American media.

The Ford Crown Victoria (or the Crown Vic for short) is a full-size sedan introduced in 1992, as the successor to the Ford LTD Crown Victoria. Built under Ford's Panther platform, this is Ford's counterpart of the Mercury Grand Marquis and the Lincoln Town Car. It is by far the largest sedan marketed by Ford in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates.

For several decades, the Crown Victoria has been widely used by UsefulNotes/AmericanLawEnforcement, as the fleet of standard issue police cars through vast agencies in the countries, and it is also iconically marketed primarily for taxi cab fleets.

The Crown Victoria ceased production in 2011 as part of The Way Forward plan of 2006, with a total of over 1.5 million units sold nationally.

* In the OAV of ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest: No Mercy!'', Miyuki and Natsumi were procured a Crown Vic {{Expy}} when they were freshly transferred... [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries ...in America!]]

* In ''Film/BadTrip'', the Bad Bitch, Trina's customized, pink Ford Crown Victoria that was a gift from her grandma [[ThePreciousPreciousCar gets trashed by Chris when tries to stop the car when Bud tries to back out of the trip]]. And said car was trashed... [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNDgzMTgxOTktNmM2Ny00Nzk5LTgxNjAtNzJlNjBjNjMyOWZkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTkxNjUyNQ@@._V1_.jpg it was even featured in the movie poster]]!
* ''Film/CrownVic'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, which would be this car used by the two LAPD officers of Creator/LukeKleintank's and Creator/ThomasJane's character. Note that Crown Vics were used ubiquitously by UsefulNotes/AmericanLawEnforcement until its retirement in 2011. Still, it's an ImmortalIconicCar nonetheless.
* The Americanized ForeignRemake of ''Film/Taxi2004'' features Music/QueenLatifah in her [[CoolCar souped-up Ford Crown Victoria]].
* Crown Victorias were the LAPD S.W.A.T.'s training car in ''Film/SWAT2003''.
* Mark's Ford Crown Victoria in ''Film/TheSweeper'' became an InstantConvertible where he goes underneath the trailer of a gasoline tanker, and prompting an obvious "convertible" remark from him afterward.
* ''Film/Triple9'' features unmarked Crown Vics once driven by Creator/AnthonyMackie's character. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNLlZkxzXxw It's no cruising pleasure, though]].

* Oriscoe DrivesLikeCrazy here in Literature/ClawAndWarder, as he shows off his ImprobableParkingSkills with his Crown Victoria.

* In ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', Casey is shown lovingly washing his Ford Crown Victoria. Chuck must later divert an incoming missile by reprogramming it to home in on said Crown Vic. Casey is inconsolable.
* Ben Matlock's signature car in ''Series/{{Matlock}}'' is this silver Crown Vic.
* Crown Vics are quite common to see in ''Series/{{Monk}}'', since it's the standard fleet of the SFPD.
* This has been the standard issue police interceptor fleet in many PoliceProcedural series, such as ''Series/NYPDBlue'', ''Series/LawAndOrder'' and ''Series/BlueBloods''.
* ...And on ''Series/{{Psych}}'', Lassiter has a similar love for his government-issue Crown Vic. Although it has yet to be completely trashed, it has been (lightly) abused.
* ''Series/Reno911'' features lots of Crown Vics here, awaiting the mischief it'll happen.
* Since Crown Vics have been long associated with New York taxis, ''Series/TaxiBrooklyn'' continues the trend of having the Crown Vic taxi appearing several times.

* Whether if it's a taxi, cop or a civilian, all three variants of the Crown Victoria are available for John Tanner to drive in ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco''.
* Civilian Crown Victorias are part of the modern category in ''Ford Racing 2'' & ''3''.
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' features both taxis and police cars modeled after the first-generation Crown Victoria. ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' adds a civilian version of this car, dubbed the Stanier, while its taxis and police cars are now modeled after second-generation Crown Vics.
* The playable bonus LA Cop in ''VideoGame/MidnightClub II'' is a Crown Victoria {{Expy}}.
* Ever since the ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' series began to focus on police pursuits, the Crown Vic hasn't been that far behind:
** In general, various games feature Civic Cruiser police units, which are generic Ford Crown Victoria-[[{{Expy}} lookalikes]]. ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit'' (2010), on the other hand, has fully licensed Crown Vics, and it is the first car you're issued upon joining the SCPD.
** A non-police example is that you have the Super Taxi Crown vic as a [[LethalJokeCharacter Lethal Joke Car]] in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]''... it can blast past Formula One top speeds with over 750 horses under the hood, putting all the hypercars to shame.
** Tyler Morgan can get to drive the FVPD Police Interceptor in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' as an abandoned car. Seriously, why on earth would an FVPD officer ditch a police car in the middle of Fortune Valley nowhere?
** The civilian version of the Crown Victoria was finally added in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' as a car that can be bought and be fully customized by the player, with a rainbow blobed-patterned Legendary Custom variant available as a reward car.
* The police cars in ''VideoGame/PoliceSimulatorPatrolOfficers'' are [[{{Fauxrrari}} clearly modeled]] after the Ford Crown Victoria, the most popular American model for police cars.

[[folder:Ford Escort RS Cosworth]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_escort_rs_cosworth.jpg]]

->''"What makes the Escort RS truly special is the Cosworth YBT 1993cc turbocharged I4 engine. Its standard output of 224 hp has been tuned to as high as 1,000 hp. Its full-time 34/66 front/rear split 4WD system also give it excellent handling on any surface"''
-->--'''Description''', ''VideoGame/ForzaHorizon''

The rally-homologated hot hatch based on the fifth-generation European Ford Escort, serving as the successor to the rear-wheel drive Sierra RS Cosworth. Hence the car's name, it has an all-wheel drive configuration and a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine by Cosworth, with initially 7,200 units produced. Like the Sierra RS Cosworth, one-notable feature of this car is its "whale-tail" spoiler.

Because it's a homologation special, the Escort RS Cosworth was a Group A World Rally Car, intended to compete and win the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship, [[AllForNothing but failed to do so]], despite that the car won eight events between 1993 to 1996, courtesy of François Delecour, and 2-time WRC champion Carlos Sainz. IN the aftermath, the Escort RS Cosworth was replaced by the Ford Focus RS for the 1997 season.

* You'd be mistaken if that was an AutoErotica inside a blue Cosworth in ''Film/BoyEatsGirl'', but looks like the poor schmuck got eaten like a zombie, inside the car.
* In the French action comedy movie ''Film/{{Taxi}} 3'' (Yup, JustForFun/TheOneWith [[spoiler:the Creator/SylvesterStallone [[TheCameo cameo]]]]) Émilien and Daniel spot a group of sports cars conveying in the Swiss mountains. One of it is a black Ford Escort RS Cosworth. ...and they realize they on a rally race.
-->'''Émilien:''' Don't these cars look a bit strange?

* Can be spotted in "[[Recap/PsychS02E04ZeroToMurderInSixtySeconds Zero to Murder in Sixty Seconds]]" in ''Series/{{Psych}}''. It was considered a grey-import at that time the episode was released.

* As a renowned UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship Group A rally car, it's quite uncommon to see this car show up in a rally racing video game:
** Originally one of the available cars in the first ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally'' game, and later in ''2005''. It returned in ''VideoGame/{{DIRT}} 3'' as one of the 90's Rally cars and by the time in ''[=DiRT=] Rally'', its notable distinction is the car having ''7 gears''. [[note]]Since Group A cars also had to run with a smaller turbo restrictor than previously, which was a particular handicap for Ford, since the rally Escort's seven-speed gearbox was not well suited to a lower-revving engine.[[/note]]
** In ''VideoGame/SegaRally 2'', the Ford Escort appears as one of the 6 available cars in the roster.
** ''[[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Sports]]'' ''[[UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship WRC]]'' features the Group A 7-speed Cosworth that was carried over from ''[=DiRT=] Rally''. The other is the Escort Mk 6 Maxi that joins with its brother.
* Don't be surprised if that Cosworth shows up in the ''Ford Racing'' series.
* The Cosworth Escort has been present in the ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' series since its introduction in ''Motorsport 4''. In ''Horizon 5'', Creator/KenBlock's Hoonigan RS Cosworth is the feature car you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgUFILNQ06Q drive in your very first Showcase Event]] in On a Wing and a Prayer, [[DavidVersusGoliath where you battle against a cargoplane]]... followed by a group of motorcyclists. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ...and a man with a wingsuit]]. [[note]]Followed by a parachute.[[/note]]
** Befitting a car roadworthy for off-road races, ''Horizon 3'' introduces a ''Horizon Edition'' Escort, which is readily-fitted with rally-based modifications.
* Its rally-car variant of the Escort appears in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 2'', all the way up to ''6''.
* For some reason, the [[RegionalBonus NTSC-J-exclusive]] ''[[VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer Kaido Battle 2]]'' manages to slip in this American car-- er... British car to the game, alongside its other rally-based Ford cars. [[note]]This is due to licensing issues with Ford of Europe, a subsidiary behind these British developed Ford cars.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MidnightClub II'' has some examples:
** Your [[StarterMon first car]], the [[TheAllegedCar Cocotte]], appears to be based on the Escort RS Cosworth.
** The [[JackOfAllStats well-balanced]] Bryanston V belonged to the AlwaysIdenticalTwins Jewel and Julie. Imagine the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, just without its distincive spoiler, and you have that car.
* The Ozutsu Ronin in the ''VideoGame/MotorStorm'' series is a stereotypical rallying-prepared saloon car, based on the Escort RS Cosworth.
* Other than rallying, the Escort RS Cosworth made it in the asphalt, as debuted in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]''. Its AWD and phenomenal handling makes it a quintessential grip-event car, to the point one Challenge Series offers this and even one of the Grip Runners (Gavin May) uses it.

-->--'''Description''', ''VideoGame/{{DIRT}} 3''

A British staple of TheSixties and TheSeventies.

Before hot hatches were even born, there was there is fast and fun small car that punched above its weight. This was the successful series of rear-wheel drive small cars: The Ford Escort RS series. While it is made from an American brand, the Escort is considered to be a British car due to being under the Ford of Europe marque.

It all began with the Escort Twin Cam, based on the [=Mk1=] Escort in 1968. An as the name implies, this variant utilises the 1.6L Twin Cam inline-4 engine, which was also used for the Lotus Elan. The Twin Cam trim was phased out and replaced by the high-performing Cosworth-engined [=RS1600=] [[note]]RS denoting for ''Rallye Sport'' with 1600 implies the engine's displacement of approx. 1,600cc.[[/note]]. Ford also did the [=RS2000=] as an alternate but less-powerful version of the [=RS1600=], featuring a 2.0L [[EveryCarIsAPinto Pinto]] engine. The second-generation Escort RS got a slightly larger and heavier body, but its drivetrain remained intact, while its engine is somewhat less powerful than its predecessor. The RS era ended in 1980, where the [=Mk3=] Escort switching to front-wheel drive but never saw lasting success than the previous two generations.

Nonetheless, the [=Mk1=] and [=Mk2=] Escort series saw it popularity in UsefulNotes/{{Rallying}}, which saw success with Frank Gardner winning the championship 1968, as well as its greatest achievement in winning the London to Mexico World Cup Rally in 1970.

* Tej Parker purchased a [=MK1=] Escort [=RS1600=] during a car auction in ''Film/FastAndFurious6''. [[spoiler:The same Escort is driven by Brian O'Connor during a chase against Owen Shaw in a ''frickin''' tank, about to crush Roman Pearce's car as he jumps away from his car and onto Brian's Escort.]]
* Creator/GeorgeLazenby's only Film/JamesBond film ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' [[spoiler: sees Bond and Tracy trying to escape Blofield's {{Mooks}} in a HotPursuit as they plow and crash into an ongoing icy rallycross race, where numerous drivers in [=Mk1=] Ford Escort RS are partaking, and the race became a demolition derby as these poor Escort drives crashed out due to the pursuers rubbing lots of paint on.]] Considered as a ProductPlacement as the Escort RS was still brand new during the film's release.
* ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'' features this black [=RS2000=] as an old easy-to-steal car. A perfect ride for Kenny and Gary, indeed.

* ''Series/TheProfessionals'', a British TV series where almost EverybodyOwnsAFord... ''literally''. While the Ford Capri is [=CI5's=] signature CoolCar, Raymond Doyle's car of choice is a Diamond White [=Mk2=] Escort [=RS2000=] with a black top. It's a vintage cult classic worth a four-figure price tag at its time.

* Any rally video game would feature this classic Escort RS as it is indeed a car with a rich history of tackling gravel.
** ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally'' usually uses the [=Mk1=] Escort [=RS1600=] as a bonus car, were is 120 horses under the hood is compensated with easy cornering skills, while the ''VideoGame/{{DIRT}}'' series features the Mk II Escort. Its notable distinction of this car is for its red and black "Colin [=McRae=] Motorsport" livery, usually paying the moniker's tribute. And guess what? Travis Pastrana in ''DIRT 2'' invites you to try your hands on this sweet rally classic as part of the Colin [=McRae=] Challenge.
--->'''Travis Pastrana:''' Colin's worked on this baby himself, so you know it's going to deliver. It's big and brutal, but offers an exhilarating, fast drive. Hop on board if you dare!
*** Even Creator/KenBlock has his own version version in ''DIRT 3'', and he calls it, the "Ken Block Special".
** In ''VideoGame/RallyTrophy'', a rally game with a GenreThrowback to 1960s and 1970s era rally racing, features this [=Mk1=] Escort as one of the cars in the lineup. [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNTdjZWExMmYtY2IzZC00ZjIyLWEyZjEtMzZmNDNmOGIxZmRlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTM2MDQ5NTU@._V1_.jpg ...and it even serves as the game's cover car]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjpDW1CTXbs as well as most of the game's intro.]]
* It ain't ''Ford Racing'' without all the Ford Escorts. In ''3'', it's classified an off-road car where many of the pickups belong, while in ''Ford Street Racing'', it's one of the [[StarterMon starting Classic class cars]].
* While ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' features both generations of this "rallye sport", enjoy recreating scenes of the aforementioned ''Fast & Furious 6'' with Brian's pre-tuned Escort in ''Horizon 2'' and ''Motorsport 6''. Another brilliant example is Creator/KenBlock's gymkhana car; the black Hoonigan Escort.
* The [=Mk1=] Escort appeared outside of the rally world in ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoClassic Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]]'' as the [[{{Fauxrrari}} S-Cart]]. A police car variant of the S-Cart also appears the "Copper", with the name itself being British slang for a ''police officer''. Another stand-in for the Escort appears in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoOnline'' as the Retinue.
* Another non-rally example: the classic [=RS1600=] Escort making its only appearance in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedShift Shift 2: Unleashed]]'', via [[DownloadableContent Legends Pack]].
* And with the mention of Slightly Mad Studios who did the aforementioned ''Shift 2'' above, the devs added the [=Mk1=] Escort in ''VideoGame/ProjectCARS'', available in stock, racing or rallycross form. The later most is a one-make Vintage RX car.
* Appears in ''VideoGame/{{Wreckfest}}'' as the [[{{Fauxrrari}} Boomer]]. A tuned-variant, the Boomer RS pays homage to the [=Mk1=] Escort RS rally car that that appeared in the aforementioned ''Rally Trophy'' as part of the latter game's [[MilestoneCelebration 20th anniversary]].

[[folder:Ford Explorer]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_explorer.jpg]]

->''"A smash hit in the beginning, a roller-coaster ride along the way, but the Explorer shows why Fords are Built Tough."''
-->--'''Davies Elabha''', [[https://www.topspeed.com/history-of-the-ford-explorer/ History of the Ford Explorer]], ''[=TopSpeed=]''

The Ford Explorer is a range of [=SUVs=] manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1991. The first four-door SUV produced by Ford, the Explorer was introduced as a replacement for the two-door Bronco II. Similar to the the Ford Ranger, the Explorer derives its name from a trim package previously offered on the Ford F-Series pickup trucks.

The Explorer has been offered in multiple chassis and powertrain layouts: The first two generations were directly derived from the Ford Ranger, the third and fourth generations had a model-specific chassis, and the fifth generation adopted a variant of the Ford Taurus chassis, being repackaged as a crossover SUV.

The Explorer has many variants: Alongside the five-door Explorer wagon, a three-door Explorer wagon was offered from 1991 to 2003 (officially referred to as the Explorer Sport after 1999), serving as the direct replacement of the Bronco II; the 2001–2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac was a crew-cab pickup derived from the model line. The Explorer is also known for its police use, with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility been derived from the fifth and sixth-generation Explorer to replace the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (and the later Taurus-based Police Interceptor Sedan). Through rebranding, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln have sold versions of the Explorer; for example, Lincoln markets the sixth-generation model line as the Lincoln Aviator.

By 2020, it was reported that the Ford Explorer range was the best-selling SUV of all time in America.

The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks; in the Ford truck lineup, it is positioned above the mid-size Ranger but below the larger Super Duty. Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the aforementioned Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6–8 commercial trucks.

[[folder:Ford Focus series]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_focus_series.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[VideoGame/MetalGear Yes, Snake. The Focus SE is the perfect vehicle for driving around Shadow Moses Island.]][[note]][[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Just so we're clear, this is a real line]] [[https://youtu.be/FPqlWH4u6L4?si=tF0ldbr_YtwU6buD from a real commercial]].[[/note]]]]

->''"I'd buy it for buttons... then I'd make sure the suspension was absolutely mint... because the first-generation Ford Focus is the best little hatchback I've ever driven."''
-->-- '''Chris Harris'''

The Ford Focus is a series of compact cars that have been manufactured by the company since 1999. The car's conception came about by Alexander Trotman's "Ford 2000" plan, meant to globalize model development and sell one compact vehicle worldwide[[note]]This wasn't the first time Ford attempted this, as the original concept of the 1981 Escort led to the infamous creation of two cars for Europe and North America that were so different from each other that the similarities they did have were superficial at best and history repeating with the 1993 Mondeo and Contour/Mystique[[/note]]. The car has four generations of its model, lasting from 1998 to 2025.

The first generation of the Focus lasted from 1998 to 2004, primarily designed by the German and British teams of Ford of Europe and replaced the various Escort models. Given the code name of C170 for its development, the Focus' name originates from a 1991 concept car from Ghia and continued Ford's New Edge styling philosophy from the 1996 Ka and 1998 Cougar, though this styling would be polarizing to say the least.

The second generation of the Focus lasted from 2005 to 2010. The Focus Mk 2, as it is called, is much larger and heavier compared to its previous generation and included technologies like a [=KeyFree=] system and Bluetooth phones and voice control to name a few. Mk 2's build quality and interior serves as an improvement as it pays better attention to material quality and overall finish in comparison to the previous generation.

The third generation of the Focus lasted from 2011 to 2019. This generation of the Focus became the best-selling car in the world in 2012. This generation of Focuses would be the first cars designed under Alan Mulally and his "One Ford" plan, which sought to leverage Ford's global resources into creating more competitive vehicles that could be globally marketed with minimal changes. This generation also reunited the North American and global Focus lines, discontinuing the North American version of the second generation. Ford used its "Kinetic Design" to build the car, making it appear similar to the Fiesta. This generation also redesigned its cabin, changed the materials used and had an "infotainment" system built in.

The fourth (and current) generation of the Focus began production in 2018, with its production being set to end in 2025 as the company shifts their product line to [[{{Pun}} focus]] on electric vehicles. This generation also marks the brand's 20th anniversary. Unlike the first generation, this generation of the Focus began production in Germany and China. This generation also served as the end of the Focus line-up in many regions, like the Americas and Southeast Asia.

The Focus Mk 1 WRC made its debut in the rallying scene in 1999 at the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship with two of them (one of which being driven by Creator/ColinMcRae) setting many of the fastest stage times at the event... or at least they would've if not for an illegal water pump that excluded both of them from the event. The Focus Mk 1 WRC would be victorious in the Safari Rally and Rally Portugal. This car would eventually be replaced with an Mk 2 WRC that would be responsible for defending Ford's title in the 2007 season of the World Rally Championship. In 2011 onwards, the Ford Fiesta replaced the Focus for rallying.

The Focus was also used for touring, winning the second season of the 2009 British Touring Car Championship and being responsible for winning the championships of the Argentine TC 2000 in four separate years. It also showed success in the 2013 China Touring Car Championship and won its class in the 2014 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour.

Initially the redesigned upscale variation of the then-existing Ford Fairlane, the Ford Torino is a series of mid-size muscle cars produced for the American market between 1968 to 1976.

[[MeaningfulName The name Torino is named after the city of Turin]], (''Torino'', in Italian), which was considered to be the UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}} of UsefulNotes/{{Italy}}, which was also the name originally proposed for the Ford Mustang while in development.

Majority of the Torinos were typically offered in either a four-door sedan or a two-door hardtop coupé. Ford also produced some of the high-performance muscle cars of the Torino, many of these said version would be called the "Film/GranTorino" or the "Gran Torino Sport", which they're fitted with powerful engines, such as the 428 cu in (7.0 L) and 429 cu in (7.0 L) "Cobra-Jet" engines, similarly used in a Boss 429 Mustang.

The Torino had played an active role in UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}, where its 1968-69 Torino was used with a wind-cheating design and improved aerodynamics which proved is competition effectively. Its dominance spawned two limited-edition models; the Torino Talladega and the Torino King Cobra.

->''"Was this the greatest hypercar of them all? Well, that's a question I've never really been able to answer, because the [=GT40=] is 40 inches tall... and I'm not."''
-->--'''Creator/JeremyClarkson''', ''Series/TopGearUK''

After an attempt to buyout Ferrari went awry, Ford decided to build a racing sports car as an effort to BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame in endurance racing.

It all began in 1964 when Ford negotiated with Lola to help build their racing sportscar. Thus, the Mark I was completed and was named the Ford GT, though it was named the [=GT40=] due to a reporter gave it a FanNickname, as it [[MeaningfulName refers to the total height of the car, measuring 40 inches]]. The car was powered by Ford's own all-aluminium 4.7 L V8 OHV engine, mounted amidship. The car made an impression at the 1964 UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, setting lap records, [[AllForNothing but none of the car finished the race due to reliability issues]]. The same happened in 1965. In 1966, Ford took another chance at the Le Mans, with their advanced Mk. II [=GT40s=] with an improved engine and chassis made by Shelby American. Not only it managed to achieve victory, but also dominated the race with flying colors in an impressive 1-2-3 finish position win. The [=GT40=] had been the Le Mans winner for 4 years in a row, and the only American manufacture at its highest class to ever do so.

[[TimeSkip Flash forward in 2002]], where Ford announced its revival heritages at the North American International Auto Show as part of the brand's [[MilestoneCelebration 100th anniversary]], unveiling the Ford GT Concept, a sports car that pays homage to the Le Mans-winning [=GT40=]. The GT looks similar to its original 1965 car, albeit bigger and wider. Production finally pushed for 2005 and 2006 models, with 4,500 cars originally planned. The car retains its Ford V8 engine, albeit fitted with Eaton aftermarket superchargers, producing around 550 hp. The car was able to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.8 seconds, with top speeds of 330 km/h (205 mph).

Flash forward, again in 2015, Ford announced the second-generation Ford GT [[TheBusCameBack after a decade-old hiatus]] as a 2016 model. The car marked [[MilestoneCelebration 50 years]] of its Le Mans victory back in 1966, and it successfully recent finish in 2016, after winning the LM GTE-Pro class. BreakingOldTrends from its two predecessors is that this second-gen GT now uses a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged Ford [=EcoBoost=] V6 engine, which raised serious questions from the public. Despite this, it accelerates about a second quicker than its predecessor. Prominent to this is its open airflow tunnels built into the rear fenders of the car, referred to as the 'flying buttresses', an innovative aerodynamic that wind to pass through the vents.

By the time it was discontinued in 2022, the [=GT40=] and the GT had cemented its place as part of Ford's racing heritage, with numerous victories under its belt.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_taurus.jpg]]

->''"How can it go away? It's the best selling car in America."''
-->-- Then-newly-hired Ford CEO '''Alan Mulally''', on the news of the car's (first) discontinuation

The Ford Taurus is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1986 to 2019. Introduced in late 1985 for the 1986 model year, over 34 years six generations would be produced, with a brief hiatus between 2006 and 2007. From 1986 to 2009, the Taurus was sold alongside its near-twin, the Mercury Sable; a high-performance version, the Ford Taurus SHO, would also be produced for four generations (1989–1999; 2010–2019). The Taurus also served as the basis for the first-ever front-wheel-drive Lincoln Continental (1988–2002).

The original Taurus is considered a milestone for Ford and the entire American automotive industry, being the first automobile at Ford designed and manufactured using the statistical process control ideas brought to Ford by W. Edwards Deming, a prominent statistician consulted by Ford to bring a "culture of quality" to the enterprise.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, sales of the Taurus declined, due to losing market share to Japanese mid-size sedans and Ford shifting resources away towards developing [=SUVs=]. Eventually it was announced that the Taurus would be withdrawn after the 2007 model year after production ended on October 2006; as part of a model line revision, the Taurus and the larger Ford Crown Victoria would be replaced with the full-size Five Hundred and mid-size Fusion sedans. During the 2007 Chicago Auto Show however, the nameplates of the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were revived, intended as 2008 mid-cycle revisions of the Ford Five Hundred. A sixth-generation Taurus would be introduced in 2010, marking a more substantial model update, alongside the revival of the Taurus SHO; in 2013, the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, based on the sixth-generation Taurus, was introduced as a successor for its long-running Crown Victoria counterpart.

From 1985 to 2007, the Taurus was a mid-size car that offered front-wheel drive, before becoming a full-size car in 2007, offering front- or all-wheel drive. The Taurus was produced as a four-door sedan through its entire production, with a five-door station wagon offered from 1986 to 2005.

From its 1985 launch to its initial withdrawal following the 2007 model year, Ford assembled over 7,5 million examples of the Taurus. The fifth best-selling Ford nameplate in North America, the Taurus has been surpassed only by the F-Series, Escort, Model T, and Mustang. Between 1992 and 1996, the Taurus was the best-selling car nameplate in the United States, overtaken by the current title holder in 1997, the Toyota Camry.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_thunderbird.jpg]]

->''"The Smith Thunderbolt; the stylish man's car of choice. With its finely tuned, dual overhead cam, American-made engine, and plush leather interior, you'll not only be thrown in the back of your seat when you hit the gas pedal. You'll never want to get out of it!"''
-->--Radio advertisement for the [[{{Fauxrrari}} Smith Thunderbolt]], ''VideoGame/MafiaII''

Before the Mustang became Ford's icon, there was a luxury sports car that rose to prominence and having a long, beautiful and rich history. That is the Ford Thunderbird.

The Thunderbird (or informally the '''T-Bird''') entered production in 1955 as a response to Chevrolet's new sports car, [[TheRival the Corvette]]. It weighs about 2,525 pounds and fitted with Ford's Interceptor V-8 engine capable of reaching a top speed of over 100 mph (which is ''very'' fast for its time).

Thanks to its futuristic design, the Thunderbird became a popular upscale sports car of its time despite Ford not marketing it as a "sports car", instead, it's the first to define the new category of a "personal luxury car". Some notable examples are being the pace car during the 1961 [[UsefulNotes/IndyCar Indianapolis 500]], being the featured car of then-US president UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy in his inaugural parade and it also rose to stardom in UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}, famously used by Bobby Allison and Bill Elliott.

Later models, such as the fifth generation in 1967 would be the basis of the Lincoln Continental, whereas the 1977 seventh-generation shares the same chassis as the Mercury Cougar. Ford downsized its bodyframe in 1980 in response of the fuel efficiency trend and emissions compliance, to the point the Thunderbird loses its luster. The personal luxury car took a break and stopped production for a while in 1997, until it was resurrected 5 years later in time for the car's 50th MilestoneCelebration. This time, it's a retro-styled sports car based on the original 1957 design.

The Thunderbird ended production for good in 2005.

** The "insanely-fast, but hard-to-control" Hard Level Car in ''VideoGame/DaytonaUSA 2'' is a clear derivative of the Ford Thunderbird stock car that competed in UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} in 1998.
** The Tombstone bonus car in the UpdatedReRelease of ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedII'' has a strong resemblance to the 1996 Thunderbird NASCAR.
* The AllegedlyFreeGame ''CSR Classics'' features the Thunderbird as one of the most premium Tier 1 cars. It's "best" as it looks as it is driven be TheLeader of the Authentics, Marco Cerulli.
* John Tanner can drive this classic sports car in the PC release of ''VideoGame/{{Driver}}''.
* The ''Ford Racing'' series, where the Thunderbird in various generations plays its part in the Ford collection lineup.
* ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport 4'' is the ''only'' game where the Thunderbird shows up.
* The Peyote in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' is based on the first-generation Thunderbird, while the Fortune is based on the tenth-generation model.
* [[spoiler:The two unnamed gunmen [[note]]The unnamed gunmen were revealed to be Vito Scaletta and Joe Barbaro in ''Mafia II'' and ''Mafia: Definitive Edition''[[/note]] in ''VideoGame/MafiaTheCityOfLostHeaven'' are seen pulling up to Tommy Angelo's house in a red Bolt Thrower,[[note]]Smith Moray in the ''Definitive Edition''[[/note]] a CoolCar based on the 1955 Ford Thunderbird, ready for the latter to meet his fate.]]
** The scene was recreated ''VideoGame/MafiaII'' mission "Stairway to Heaven", but this time the car Vito and Joe were using is named the ''Smith Thunderbolt''. And the Thunderbolt itself is [[CoolCar cool enough]] that its given a radio advert, stated in the quote above.
--->'''Vito:''' Hey, what's with the fancy wheels?
--->'''Joe:''' Eddie gave it to us just for this job. Nice, huh?
*** In "The Betrayal of Jimmy", the mission aptly named the "Smith Thunderbolt Theft" prompts Jimmy to hijack the aforementioned car and deliver it to the garage [[WatchThePaintJob in one piece]].
** In ''VideoGame/MafiaIII'', it's now as the Smith Moray. [[spoiler:The first mission of the ''Stones Unturned'' DLC "Creature of Habit" has Lincoln Clay use a beautiful orange Moray to chase down a pursuing man named Chuckie, the soul survivor of the massacre.]]

[[AC:Western Animation]]
* One of the episode-specific characters in ''WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins'' is a [[{{SentientVehicle}} Sentient]] 1957 Ford Thunderbird called "Carmine the Music Car". Since it's a music-focused show, Carmine is [[{{PimpedOutCar}} modified]] with various instruments attached to him [[labelnote:explanation]]including a Trumpet Engine, a Trombone Horn, and Bass Drum Tires[[/labelnote]].
* Ruth Powers's car in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is a 1966 Thunderbird. Marge is impressed with her ride and takes it for a spin, ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise-style''. It was then revealed that it's stolen car that's actually belonged to her ex-husband.
-->'''Ruth:''' Fat chance, this car's stolen.

At the end of the 1980s, in the United States, sport-utility vehicles gradually began to transition from dedicated off-road vehicles towards dedicated family vehicles similar to station wagons: General Motors introduced the Oldsmobile Bravada in 1990 and Ford later introduced the Mercury Mountaineer in 1996, convincing several other manufacturers to introduce mid-size luxury SUVs. The Lincoln Navigator was launched on July 1, 1997, for the 1998 model year, with the first vehicle rolling off the assembly line on May 14, 1997. Based directly on the Ford Expedition, introduced the year before, the Navigator gave the Lincoln-Mercury division its first full-size SUV (slotted above the Ford Explorer-based Mercury Mountaineer). As full-size SUVs such as the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition were highly profitable vehicles, the Lincoln Navigator was positioned by Ford as a full-sized, luxury SUV.

* Harvey Specter of ''Series/{{Suits}}'' tries to be like a [=McQueen=] here when he dons himself a '67 Mustang:
-->'''Cameron:''' Nice Mustang, Harvey. I see you're still trying to be Creator/{{Steve McQueen|Actor}}.\\
'''Harvey:''' Not trying. Being. This is the scene where he corners that asshole.

* ''VideoGame/{{Wreckfest}} has the [=WildKing=], a true American icon with lots of muscle that's based off the 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Only via RewardsPass.

*** In ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'', [[SpicyLatina Carmen Mendez]] uses a classic 1967 Shelby [=GT500=]. The same car wouldd also be used by Luis in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedNitro Nitro]]'' for the Silver Cup.

* Vinnie from ''SiftHeads'' always seems to have one. He has been fascinated with the Shelby Mustang [=GT500=] Eleanor for a very long time, which is his personal CoolCar, nonetheless.

* Barricade in the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' transforms into a Saleen [=S281=] Extreme police car. Mustangs are pretty uncommon cars for police use in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, but a Saleen? Well for the sake of RuleOfCool.

* Rally Vincent's CoolCar in ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' is none other than the Ford Mustang Cobra [=GT500=], which is not only cool but ''rare as hell''.

** Ford Shelby [=GT500s=] appear as the car used for the SCPD's roadblocks in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit2010 Hot Pursuit (2010)]]''.

** It no surpise that the pony car would show up in ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited''. Some notable ones would be the ImprobablyCoolCar, the Mustang GT-R Concept that's way to hot to drive on public roads, and a custom [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] Mustang Fastback that is driven by Miami Harris, CoveredInKisses.

-->--'''Description''', ''VideoGame/{{Forza}} Horizon''

* The first car you'd start off in the first two events of the WorldTour ''VideoGame/{{Burnout}} Dominator'' would be the Classic Muscle, a... ''ahem''... "classic muscle" based on the '73 Torino.
* One of the Challenge Movies of ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco'' puts you in a red Ford Gran Torino used to take down a GetawayDriver.

* The first classic muscle car available in the beginning of ''VideoGame/{{Juiced}} 2: Hot Import Nights'' would be the Ford Gran Torino. It a Rookie class car, where you won't get the next muscle car until you reach League 5.

** And there is the Coast to Coast Cup. And the car? The '''Ford [=GT90=]'''. It's an ImprobablyCoolCar since it's obviously a concept. In RealLife, ''only one car was built'', but here in [=ToCA=]? ''A '''20-place''' grid full of nothing but [=GT90s=]'', in which is beyond impossible to host in RealLife.

* The Bolt Ace series in ''VideoGame/MafiaTheCityOfLostHeaven" are all equivalent to the Ford Model T, including that Crazy Horse hot rod. ...and it's just as slow and antiquated. Paulie is incredibly disappointed.

* Aoi Futuba of ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties'' of drives a blue Ford Shelby [=GT500=] in the anime, outfitted with defensive "spy car" gadgets.

* ''VideoGame/{{Forza}} Motorsport 4'' is the ''only'' game where the Thunderbird shows up.

** Considering Colin [=McRae=] has driven the thing, it was expected to see the Focus WRC appear in ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally'' (where the fouc is both the star car and the cover car fro ''2.0'' and ''3''). It also appears in its sequel series, ''VideoGame/{{Dirt}}'', usually seen in the hands of Creator/KenBlock.

* Ever since ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 2'', the Ford Focus is the go-to hatchback for everyone, and is highly regardes as one of the quintessential rally cars other there, especially Mikko Hirvonen's 2008 [[UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship WRC]] car, or the third gen Focus ST which served as the basis for a Gr. B rally car.
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted2012'' features the Focus. It's treated as a [[JokeCharacter Joke Car]] considering it's a hatchback in a game with tons of exotic cars capable of going 200+ MPH.

The one that started it all. Possible the TropeMaker of ''all'' automobiles. It's OlderThanTelevision, that the car was made even before Creator/UniversalPictures and Creator/{{Paramount}} were ever born.

Automobiles were dated back from the late [=1800's=], but are often scarce, expensive and unreliable. Enter Henry Ford, whose desire is to make a massively-produced and affordable automobile and accessible to the masses in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates. Launched in 1908, the Ford Model T is generally regarded as the first ever mass-affordable automobiles in history, catering to middle-class Americans at a relatively low price. A car that was extremely innovative at its time as it is serves as the influence to numerous car makers from all over the world. The Model T was colloquially known as the "[[FanNickname Tin Lizzie]]".

The Model T is powered by a front-mounted 177 cubic inch (2.9 L) inline-4 engine, producing 20 hp and was capable of reaching speeds of 42 mph (68 km/h). It was fuel efficient, as the engine fully accepts gasoline, kerosene or [[AlcoholIsGasoline ethanol]]. Its transmission uses a planetary gear, which is an early mechanism, with 2-gears and one reverse gear.

Colors were extremely limited for the Model T. A famous quote of Henry Ford once said; "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." though it wasn't actually available in black until 1913. It was offered in a diverse amount of body types, ranging from touring to sedans, roofless roadsters, wagons, pickups, etc.

Though production ended in 1927 and was replaced by the Model A, the Model T was one of the most successful cars of that time, with over 15 million units sold and would be the symbol of automobilism until the introduction of the Volkswagen Beetle.

'''Jeese:''' It's just a car. It's just a car. [looks closer at the scratches and starts to get emotional] It's just a ca-ca-ca...\\
'''D.J.:''' I am so sorry! I feel ''terrible''! I promise I'll do better tomorrow.

* DJ's DrivingTest in ''Series/FullHouse'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4TuNbPUXaw went just plain goes wrong]], when she's drives the Ford Taurus ''too'' cautiously.

* How can an ordinary Ford Taurus SHO be well-recognized in '"VideoGame/GranTurismo 2''? Its '''racing modification''', which turns it into a UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} stock car.
