Recently a list was compilied of the 100 greatest cars of all time. The greastest car of all time is?… The 1932 Ford V8. The list included many other Fords such as the Model T and of course the Mustang. Here are the Fords (and Shelby’s) that made the list: (Number is where it is based out of 100. )

1. 1932 Ford V8: The first performance car a working man could afford, with looks swiped straight from Duesenberg. This car has defined American automotive culture for nearly 80 years.

9. 1908 Ford Model T: It was the first car most people could afford. And it was the first car around for which an industry was built to improve it. The aftermarket was invented around the Model T with everything from paint to speed parts.

15. 1964 Ford Mustang: Under the skin it was just a Falcon, but the original pony car was a sensation. It invented the automotive youth market and made Lee Iacocca an icon.

24. 1949 Ford: A true postwar design, the ’49 Ford used a dramatically lower envelope body without running boards or fenders distinctly separate from the hood’s sweep. Every other car would follow.

41. 1955 Ford Thunderbird: America’s favorite classic. An icon of design, style and statement.

53. 1962 Shelby Cobra 260 and 289: The AC Ace was a boring English sports car with a half-hearted Bristol engine. Carroll Shelby put the small-block Ford V8 in it and created a legend.

52. 1965 Shelby Cobra 427: Shelby designed its own coil-sprung chassis, and fit the massive Ford 427 V8 to create the incredible Cobra 427. It’s still one of the quickest cars ever built and it’s somehow still in production today.

57. 1982 Ford Mustang 5.0: Would hot-rodding and/or street racing have survived the 1990s without the 5.0-liter Mustang?

71. 1964 Ford GT40: Purpose built as a racecar, it was nonetheless also used as a great road car. Won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for four straight years, 1966 through 1969. It’s the Ford that defeated Ferrari.

73. 1951 Ford Country Squire: The wagon generations of us grew up in. This is the definitive family car of the ’50s through the ’80s, with awesome fake wood along its flanks.

75. 1953 Ford F-100: The first truly stylish truck and the first pickup to develop a true enthusiast following. This is a design that stretched the definition of classic.

77. 1986 Ford Taurus: The car that saved Ford. It set a new design standard and proved America could build a modern front-drive sedan that could stand in the ring with the Camry and Accord.

99. 1991 Ford Explorer: It defined the 1990s with its ubiquity and made the SUV the standard family hauler. Its rep has fallen, but its impact hasn’t faded.
