I have a deep sentimental attachment to the Ford Motor Company! My dad was always a Ford man. As a child I made a conscious effort to figure out what kind of car guy I would become. I listened closely to the adults around me as they discussed their cars. Farmers, policemen, blue collar workers, weekend racers, and all manner of everyday people. It seemed to me that the vast majority of people in my life drove and preferred Fords! Especially the workers that depended on their cars for their job. It also seemed as though the Ford people were more modest about their loyalty. The GM and Chevy guys always seemed to be overly braggadocious and aggressive in defending their brand! Most seemed like they had to prove to me and themselves that their brand was the best! During my life time I have never owned a bad Ford and have been sentimentally attached to all of them. Thanks for the great memories FORD!
