Hello 6G friends,

I made my way to another Dealer Event and it was the BEST! Dealer is Hines Park Ford in Milford MI and boy did they put on a nice event! I realize we've already had lots of FE CG sighting and pics so I apologize in advance for duplicate pics but hopefully a few new things as well.

I've order a CG 4-door BL, so it was so so awesome to see one in the raw and watch the color changes in the paint with different lighting. For the most part it was 16:00 - 17:30 sunshine but some shadows as well.

Some light observations:

1. CG!
2. Look at all the Bronco Sports they have in stock!
3. Check out the Bronco Sport in White and CG side by side
4. Guy sitting in the Bronco is "me" in orange vest and torn jeans like that other posting ;-)
5. I'm 6' even and seat was all the way back and actually it was too far back for my liking
6. Laser tape measure (more stealth than metal tape measure) shows front door to door of measurement of 59.3" (+/- margin of error since I was going fast)
7. Laser tape measure of rear seating surface to back of front seat that was all the way back (I hope it was) of 8.4" (+/- margin for me)
8. Sorry, no more measurements. I know, I know, all you techie guys would of had every area measured and compared against Ford specs to sah "ah ha", got you ;-)
9. Notice CG in different light, really different and cool.
10. Some of the known Easter eggs; upper felt on wheel well....couldn't photograph well; Lasso is cool
11. Marketing staff was fairly knowledgeable; They probably cram info each evening by reading all of you on Bronco 6G ;-)
12. What's up with the #1 of 7000? I thought I say that one sell on Barrett-Jackson auction this past weekend or was that VIN .....0001
13. OMG, the swag! They hired a gourmet coffee bar! I was already jacked up on my daily fix of 12-cups so it wasn't wise at 17:00 to slug back another
14. Gourmet cookies from local Howell, MI bakery
15. Beer Kosy (since only Beer should go in one)
16. Last but not least, some bada$$ metal Bronco signage; OMG I can't believe they were handing these out and I hope some of you will also experience these road shows.
17. Some of these Marketing folks said they were headed to Buffalo NY tomorrow!

Enjoy friends,
Bruce.

How was it climbing in and out?

Do you know the seat height position you used?

Like your question. Actually, I don't like all the plastic and the area above the glove box is way too large of an area for me for plastic! My 1988 Bronco II had a sweet cut-out in that space where you could put all sorts of things...no cell phones back then but other gadgets, box of kleenex etc. Maybe another oh-$hit bar etc etc would have been better.

Was disappointed they didn't do like in my ram and put another box in all that dead space especially when you have top and doors off the more lockable storage the better

Very cool! Thanks for posting. I never get tired of seeing great pics of these rigs!!

 

[CoachTee]

Awesome shots! Thank you so much for sharing - bonus points!!! I grew up on the opposite side of the GM Proving Grounds from Milford.
I knew from the day of my reservation that I would get CG and never changed my mind, even with all the hues that were posted. Figured it would be kind of a fighter jet gray with a hint of green or blue. Your pics in the sun, absolutely rocked my world!

I think how ever purchased the barret Jackson bronco should be pissed that there’s another 1 of 7000 first edition. What’s up with two 1 of 7000 first editions ?

17. Some of these Marketing folks said they were headed to Buffalo NY tomorrow!

Did they say where in Buffalo?

Lol.... All 7000 will say 1 of 7000.... Cause they are. It's a number plate. Not a Serialized number plate.

 

[jimmy-joe]

Maybe the # 1 on that plaque is pre production number one?

I noticed that too . . . 1 of 7,000 ??? I thought they sold No. 1 at Barrett Jackson last weekend for $1m+ I have a feeling someone (China?) will be knocking off those aluminum center console plates before the first models hit the dealers for purchase!!

That makes sense, have everyone feel somewhat "special" by giving everyone an aluminum center console plate that says: 1 of 7,000 . . . and we all go home happy campers!

Here in Texas, we are so happy for you freaking lucky guys in Michigan.

Hi - my middle age brain can't even be 100% certain but it's at least "C" and maybe even "D" i.e. just above "C". I was sitting in the passenger seat and holding above thighs and therefore higher than A, B. The rig has great presence on the outside and inside; doesn't feel as snug as a Wrangler...which isn't bad, just different.

Thanks!
