Maybe the big block powered, luxo barge Mercurys from Hawaii Five-0? :)
Actually, I can't think of any cool Ford TV cars. Movie cars are a different story; Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds, White Lightning, etc.
Well, given that I also like Chrysler 300s and drive a C-body Dodge, YEAH, those would count :-)
But seriously, SOME TV show must have featuered a '66 to '70 Torino. Or a Cougar, or a Mach 1...
More than half the cars on TV in the 60s and 70s were Fords, but like you say all I remember are things like McGarrett's Mercs, Cannon's Lincoln, and Hutch's beat-up LTD (and yeah, Starsky's Torino too), and Uncle Jesse's pickup. But I'm sure I'm just forgetting something.

BTW, the original Kato was played by Keye Luke of Charlie Chan fame and who did voice work for thousands of cartoons.
The customizer of The Black Beauty was Dean Jefferies.
Sgt. Friday of Dragnet drove Fords. Fords were featured in "The FBI" as well.

One of the Mustang E-mail lists years ago was divided into two groups: Classic Mustangs and Fox-chassis. There was a footnote on the homepage that said "Don't even ask about the Mustang II because nobody cares."
;-)
Yeah, it was a white Mustang Cobra 2 -- I'm pretty sure it was Farrah's, and Cheryl inherited it. I *think* the others may have had Fords as well.
LOL
And, here's a page of photos of cars that appeared on CA:

And for the Brits, we give you the Reliant Robin from the TV comedy show Only Fools and Horses. That Reliant Robin now has a V8 in it for races. Imagine a V8 on three wheels O.o

A dumb change to a dumb car. The two wheels were at the wrong end. >:)
On my first trip to the UK in '79 I couldn't believe it when I saw my first Reliant. It wasn't surprising when I saw two rolled over in my first week there.
