The Ford Motor Company has produced a lot of famous and universally acclaimed vehicles over its long and illustrious history. In fact, there are so many that it would be very difficult to select just one. The Ford Model T would most definitely be on the list, because it was the first production automobile that most people could afford to buy, thanks largely to the mass production techniques pioneered by Henry Ford himself. Over 15 million Model Ts were manufactured over its 19 year production run, making the world's first truly global car.
Another prime candidate would be the original Ford Mustang, produced from 1964 to 1973. It became the fastest selling car in US, with 318,000 units being sold in the first year alone. The Mustang is currently on its fifth generation, and enjoys the distinction of being Ford's oldest nameplate that is still in active production.
On the racing front, there is the Ford GT40, the high performance sports car that one the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour endurance race 4 years in a row from 1966. The car was designed specifically to beat Ferrari at that race after Ford's attempts to buy the Italian automaker had failed. It was briefly reincarnated in 2005 - 2006 as the Ford GT, a slightly larger road legal version of the famous racer.
