My dad had a '92 Lincoln Continental, with the 3.8 v6 and the 4speed auto (arguably fords worst engine and tranny in terms of durability and reliability). The thing ran great for 220k miles with very minor problems, we sold it because the front suspension blew up and cost more to replace then the car was worth.
As for Ford going out of business, if it gets to that point, the government will step in and help like they did with chrysler in the '80's.
