Finally Forgiven

JoAnn (my dear wife of 46 years) had a new Ford Falcon Futura Convertible in 1963. We dated for about 9 months, had lot’s of fun running around in the Falcon. We were married in November 1963. Well, after a kid or two ol’ dad trades the Falcon in on a practical, 4-door family sedan. Well, would you believe JoAnn never forgave me. About 2000 we were living in Lee’s Summit, MO, near Kansas City. I found a “like new” 1963 Ford Falcon Futura (looks just like her original) in a local classic car place and “snuck” it into the garage and surprised her with it Christmas Eve. Needless to say I was “Finally Forgiven” (after 36 years)! This car was well taken care of, never restored tho newly painted and new interior. Still a daily driver today!

Linda I have owned Fords since I bought my first car. My first car was a used 1968 avocado green 289 Ford Mustang coupe. Gorgeous and so much FUN, FUN, FUN. Built very tough too! Bought it used and sold it for double what I paid for it. Next bought a used 1985 Ford mustang hatchback with the words Mustang on the lower both sides of the car with stripes coming out either side. Very cool, fun, wonderful car. Then purchased a GT Escort Sport used. Absolutely great little car and great gas mileage and air condtioning!. Then purchased a ZX2 Escort (sporty) used. Wonderful, wonderful car. Now have a SES 2005 Ford Taurus with 6 cd rack in the console and all leather interior. Love it! As you can see all my cars have been Fords and I have loved each and every one of them like a family member. They all gave me outstanding service and are/were a real pleasure to drive. Thank you FORD Motor Company ! Keep up the outstanding job ! AND Ford didn't need any stimulus money !

Tommy Dossey I have been driving Fords ever since 1994. I havebeen completely satisfied with each and everyone of them. Bought all of them from the same dealer and the service is excellent. ONLY buy American Made, Owned by Americans, American Companies.

Bill I'm all about America and Ford. Haven't purchased a Ford, until recently, since my 66 Mustang. Bought the brand new Fusion and absolutely love it. Customer service and product second to none. I also have a BMW and recently put a bumper sticker on it that says, "My other car is a FORD". I'm proud to be driving a Ford, have you driven a ford lately...
