Miami Air have used 738's on Reach flights for the US Mil. AmTrans 752's and 753's also operate transatlantic on a daily basis, as do Omni and North American with 752's. A number of UK and Canadian charter operators have also used 757's for Atlantic work.
Also, there are some company-owned aircraft that fly regular shuttle-service over the atlantic such as Daimler-Chrysler Aviation or Volkswagen Air Services.

Does Ford have any factories in the Americas where they fly to with their BBJ´s? Here in Europe they use the plane for shuttles between Stansted, Cologne and Valencia, as far as I know.

Isn't Air France doing something similar to Privatair with A319CJ's?
Correct, they are also using A 319's for selected long-haul flights but in a two class configuration (Business and Economy Class) and not for transatlantic flights, the current destinations are: Kuwait, Pointe Noire, Riad, Malabo, and Tashkent. The flight to Doha has been discontinued lately because it was not profitable. The next Dedicate destination should be Kish Island but I think they don't have traffic rights at the moment.

How about Iceland Air? They are all 757 across the pond.
Yes, all FI flights are operated with the 757 except the new flight to SFO, it is operated with a 767. If I remember correct did FI also fly with the 737 (-400?) to MSP a few years ago but I am not 100% sure.

Well... it seems fine to me that some carriers are doing transatlantic and long distance flights with the smaller single aisle planes. I just finished a 6 1/2 hour transcon on a B737-700 and it was quite pleasant... plenty of room, very good FA service... easy to board and deplane. Besides... you only have to look around to note that smaller jet aircraft are making a big impact in the market and one does not necessarily have to cross "the pond" in a huge twin aisle to be comfortable and safe, given the incredible reliability of modern aircraft and engines.
Aside from that.. there's the Europeans coming out with the A380 and having launched the Queen Mary 2, a 150+ thousand ton floating liner... I guess that a lot of folks do think that "size matters", ha ha...

28 1millionflyer: Iceland Air operated B737-400 to BWI from the late 80's until the late 90's I beleive.
29 Airgeek12: Most 737s don't have the range to go like Trans-atlantic unless they've been modified. I know Hiwaii(sp?) airlines modify 737s and put in huge fuel ta
30 KBGRbillT: How about Finnair 752's, Omni Int'l has some 752's (Reach flights), and First Choice and MyTravel.com both run 752's, and Ryan Int'l 752's (Reach flig
31 Airlinerfreak: As long as Ryan Air doesnt do it I will be fine with flying it. As much as I would rather fly the 777, what can I say.

35 Captain_777: American flew a 757, Boston - Manchester UK route this summer.
36 Columbia107: Does this practice not substantiate what Boeing are saying. That passengers seek direct flights to final destinations without transiting through hubs
37 Cgagn: Having spent many nights at the Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport and enjoyed the fantastic view from room 819, I can say that CO now flies the 764 into GLA
38 Flynavy: TZ, Miami Air, and CO are using/have used 737/757 aircraft on the AMC routes out of NAVSTA Norfolk to Iceland. Miami Air and CO usually use a 737-800.
39 Mfz: And there comes yet another one to my mind... BA brought B752 into YYZ in the mid-1990ies, I think it was a flight from MAN.
