My brother bought a '54 Ford Mainline, circa 1962, and it burned so much oil that he resorted to buying large jugs of oil from Pep Boys. Overall, it was a decent car–until at state inspection one year, when they hoisted the front end to check for looseness, it fell off the lift. It was never the same after that, and he sold it to another young guy.
If only this forum had existed back then, he could have complained to the world that his 8 year old Ford was “a lemon”.
My father’s '66 Galaxie 500 was a really nice, problem-free car–until it was T-boned and totaled. 
I owned an '86 Taurus, and it was the best new car that I had ever owned–up to that time.
However, it paled by comparison with my subsequent Accord and three Outbacks.
