How many car manufacturers are/where there ever?
Yes...Yet another car thread. I started this (there was probably more before) car thread craze with the best looking cars thread and I'm here to add another thread! I thought it would be fun to try and list ever single car manufacturer ever. It doesn't matter if there out of business, and no on-off's or kit cars like factory 5, but caterham is ok. ONLY MFG's that made road cars (even if they only made enough so they could race...). Oh, and if it something like Mini (owned by BMW), or Lexus (Toyota Luxury brand) that's still OK. I'll start off with a couple.
Acura
Alfa Romeo
Aston Martin
Audi
Austin Healey
Bentley
BMW
Bugatti
Caterham
Chevrolet
Chrysler
Citroen
DeLorean
Ferrari
Fiat
Ford
GM
Holden
Honda
Hummer
Jaguar
Jeep
Koenigsegg
Lamborghini
Lancia
Land Rover
Lexus
Lotus
Maserati
McClaren
Mercedes Benz
MG
Mini
Opel
Pagani
Pontiac
Porsche
Puegot
Rolls Royce
Saab
Saturn
Scion
Seat
Smart
Spyker
Toyota
Triumph
Vauxhall
Veritas
Volvo
Edit>>>Just to throw this in, I thought of all those myself (without using internet!). Not sure if I should be proud though...

Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Buick, Daewoo, Daihatsu, Isuzu, Infinity, Eagle, Kia, Mercury
Leave the crummy ones for me to fill me. LOL.
Except Infinity, I like the G35; and the Plymouth Prowler was a pretty sick car in my opinion.

They change the body panels and other tidbits, but considering they use a Mercedes and a BMW I'm not sure if that counts as a car manufacturer.

RE: How many car manufacturers are/where there ever?
Last I hear, Edsel was just a really bad car that Ford made, not it's own brand.
So far there's 125...And plenty more coming I'm sure. Tomorrow I will look at one of Clarkson's Car years where he talks about the British motor industry because there's a big list of old British MFG's.
...And 116 when I delete the doubles.

yep and you guys still missed alot, in truth there were over 200 automakers in america alone during the early times of the car up until the great depression, back then certain companies built cars as well as bare chassis to be sold to other companies that built the bodies, interior etc, it was called coach building, my hometown actually had two coach builders, Sadly only pictures exist today of the cars built here, millions of cars were scraped for world war II, Often times the car companies that had been out of business for a while were the ones you couldn't get parts for so they were the first ones scrapped for steel.

Kia
Hyundai
Shelby

There are several Chineese auto manufacturers that I don't know the names of
I think that a real, comprehensive list will run to 4 or 5 hundred makers
Here is a chart from March of '08 that is a "family tree" of sorts for modern car
