There are several good looking Fords, but pinning down my favorite is so hard.

It's probably cheating, but this has to be right up there...

i dont really like the look of any fords from the factory. but once people start to modify them, i think they really do look good!
dont think 'pretty' is the word. i think the 'pretty' ford would be the puma. but the best looking in my opinion would be either an RS500 sierra or a bubble arch YB'd mk1 escort.

But the thread is 'best looking' not 'most pretty'. Best looking can be a big butch man of a car!

How the fuck can you put Fiesta, Escort, focus etc in the best looking category ffs.

Ford mustang wins.



And if it doesn't win, it still does because it's a legend. I wonder how many of the tin can pieces of shit about today will have the status like the mustang does 40 years on !

even though the new gt500kr is a modern car, i thing it has enough retro styling to be a very good looking car, and very fast!!!

Never forget seeing one at a car show when they were new, was an amazing car back in the day in the metal.

Best looking Ford though? It's a bit like saying what's the healthiest cigar to smoke!

Now if it was best looking Subaru..
