Crossword Genius

Car making a river crossing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ford

I believe this is a double definition.

'car' is the first definition.
(ford is a make of car)

'a river crossing' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ford that I've seen before include "Shallow area in a stream where it can be crossed" , "Wade across" , "Famous American of yesteryear" , "White paint for the face" , "Ex-president" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
