There is a rich and storied history behind the Ford name, with the company itself being well over a century old. However, Ford is not just the second largest automobile manufacturer in the United States, it actually also ranks as the fifth largest in the world overall. 

Ford has expanded over the years from its humble American roots to become a dominant force in the global marketplace, and as a result, they have incorporated diverse designs in their cars. In this classic car quiz, we've taken a look t some of the most iconic Ford cars from the '70s and put them together to form the ultimate car challenge!
