What car makers are owned by Ford?

Ford Motor Company directly owns several brands, but it doesn't operate in the same way a conglomerate might, with separate, independent brands under its umbrella. Instead, Ford typically integrates its acquired brands into its operations. So, while Ford might *own* certain brands, they're not presented to the market as separate entities in the way, say, General Motors presents Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac.

Therefore, there aren't really separate "car makers" owned by Ford in the way the question implies. Instead, Ford owns various subsidiaries and brands that are integrated into its global operations. Examples include:

* Lincoln: This is probably the closest to a separate brand, as it targets a luxury market segment. However, it's still deeply integrated into Ford's design, engineering, and manufacturing processes.

It's important to note that Ford's ownership structure is complex and involves various joint ventures and strategic alliances, but direct ownership of other established carmakers is minimal beyond Lincoln.
