[teknomage1]

you want (defparameter *car* '(Ford (Fieata Mondeo Focus)))
or (defparameter *car* (list 'Ford (list 'Fieata 'Mondeo 'Focus)))

Actually, reading your post it looks like you want the symbol FORD to have a value of (list 'Fieata 'Mondeo 'Focus), which would imply (setf FORD (list 'Fieata 'Mondeo 'Focus)) .
