Interesting site. http://www.fordracing.com/news/detail/?article=28455.
Learned something new...
Pearson was driving a Ford (not a Mercury) those 2 championship seasons.
Overall Pearson had 30 wins driving a Ford and 43 driving a Mercury, or 73 total wins driving a Ford product.

Ned Jarrett, who is Ford’s all-time race winner with 43
David Pearson is the manufacturer’s only multiple champion as he won 27 races and captured 26 poles en route to back-to-back titles in 1968 and '69

Bill's up there, but the Silver Fox has more NASCAR championships (2 vs 1) and more wins driving Fords than Bill (73 vs 40).
I would rank them
1. Pearson
2. Ned Jarrett (1 championship and 43 wins)
3. Bill Elliott
Of course no one's ever gonna pass the all time Plymouth driver, R Petty had ~133 wins and 4 championships driving Plymouths.
Jeff Gordon may come close for Chevy.

You guys need to go back in the archives a little and look up Fred Lorenzen. He was one of Fords best drivers back in the '60's and he didn't even run every race every season.

Allison was my #1. I went to Martin at the time of his unfortunate demise. Awesome Bill was greats for me, but he hasn't sat in a Ford in a long time, so I consider him a Dodge guy now.
Kulwicki would've been great I agree. In his short career, he made things REALLY exciting for the blue oval.
