We asked – and you came up with some amazing badge ideas to share your love for Ford.

For many of you, your first vehicle – and your first love – was a Ford, and we received lots of suggestions for “My First Car,” “My First Ford,” and “First Love” badges. After all, with a ride like Bill T.’s 1967 Mustang, it’s no wonder it was his “first love.”

Have you had a fun experience, taken an exciting trip, or have a personal connection with your Ford that would inspire a great new badge? Tell us your idea.

If we pick your badge idea, you can become an icon — literally. We’ll design a new badge based on your ride, your personal story or whatever it is that inspired your idea.

For example, some of you love Ford vehicles because they’ve lasted 10 years, 20 years or even longer, so we’ve gotten suggestions for “Still Going Strong” and “Die Hard” badges. And some of you have a special attachment to Ford because it is an American company, like Gayle W., who suggested an “American Might” badge, or Nancy K. who suggested a badge with a red, white and blue theme. Or maybe you drive a Ford with a little more power under the hood, and would like to see a Shelby or Cobra badge, like William H. suggested.

Whatever your Ford story is, we want to hear it — and we might even turn it into the newest Ford badge!

So why is Ford special to you? What adventures have you had with your Ford vehicle? How has Ford been a part of your life? Let us know now.
