Ah...the pinto or it`s little brother...the bobcat. 
Oh...the Vega...forgot that one. My gramma had one that rusted completely through..even the tops of the fenders...within 6 years of new. Man, Ford has come a long way since those days.

I had a 1972 Toyota Corolla with a 1600cc HEMI engine... Yes, a HEMI engine... It was an awesome little car with lots of guts... I wish I had kept it....

First, let me say that my personal automotive tastes are uncommon and I tend to favor large, RWD V8 (or better) cars. I don't really have anything against Japanese cars in general (my wife drives a Mazda 3 and I'd buy another one), but I find everything that many Japanese companies make incredibly boring, ugly, or both.
Unless specified, American cars made before 1972 are exempt from the "catch-alls". There's some older iron I'd love to have, even if a Buick or something else.
Toyota *
Lexus *
Honda *
Acura * (even the NSX)
Any FWD Nissan
Any FWD Infiniti
Any "crossover", even the BMW.
Saab * made after approx 1988
Buick *
Pontiac *
Plymouth *
Any Escalade
Any Hummer
Any 3/4-ton or larger truck used as daily transportation, not a truck. Extra points for each inch of lift.
I coudl probably go on, but you get the idea.  |

said by guhuna  :Any Chevy product and ALL imports. That is a pretty broad brush that eliminates about 75% of all vehicles ever manufactured. It eliminates all Corvette's, Ferrari's, Maserati's, Jaguar's, Rolls Royce's, Porsche's and BMW's. It leaves you with Ford and Chrysler products, that haven't been industry shaking, since Henry and Walter died. |

Since most of Fords are made in Mexico/Canada and then imported to the US, that excludes those too. |

That has pretty much eliminated all possible manufacturers, because even those with corporate headquarters in the United States, there are many that are not built here, and/or featuring parts that were not manufactured in the United States.
So, at this point, are you trying to tell us that the only car you'd have is a hand-made kit-car with parts sourced in the states? If so, that is quite a feat!  I'd love to see some pictures.
