First of all...as a small business owner I want to commend @Granger Ford on their strategy and marketing execution. What they are doing is amazing to see and I give them a hearty thumbs up! LOL

Here's a legit question....has Granger organically found themselves in a situation where they could be a cult figure tied to the release of the new Bronco? For example...I absolutely LOATHE dealer name stickers on my vehicles. But honestly...I think I might actually WANT Granger's on my Bronco. It's a reminder not only of the location I bought it from...but also the fun of the entire purchase experience (rollout, pricing, waiting for B&P, order, pickup, etc). Honestly...I'd love to have a Granger shirt!!!

Point being....the rollout is a BIG deal for all of us and I think knowing / commemorating the fact that a Bronco came from Granger is a very cool side story that could evolve into cult classic status for the 2021 model as the years pass. If I see a Bronco with a Granger sticker on it...I'm going to smile a little wider than normal.

That is a valid point. When you look back at the 60’s and 70’s “Niché” dealers that the guys in the “know” would go to for a specialized version of a specif vehicle. They seemed to have largely died off with the cultivation of the “speed shop” market. Would be cool to add one more retro feature to the overall culture the Bronco is generating.

I was kind of thinking the same thing actually. I generally remove the dealer stickers or license plate frame but thinking about leaving the Granger one on the Bronco.

I chatted with one of the finance guys from Bob Davidson Ford (Parkville, MD) yesterday. Unless the price difference is huge, I'd still like to buy my Bronco at Bob Davidson. But I'd definitely wear a Granger Ford t-shirt.

Who can throw out some designs for @Granger Ford dealer stickers specifically for the Bronco? Retro and minimalistic would be my thoughts.
That would be cool. If someone can sew/embroider might be cool to see if they can add their name to the door bags, maybe some seat covers, other things that don't cost much but could move not just local but online all over the place.

I was talking to my dad about it, I was thinking he wouldn’t want to do a road trip but he said he’d be up for it to save some money! I do understand the rigamarole dealerships do to some degree since they have to have vehicles sitting on their lot, taking up time and money. (Especially on the back end, they finance the vehicles and it costs them money every month they’re on the lot) with Bronco a dealership is basically going to have zero overhead vs a stock unit which makes it way cheaper to sell a bunch of them.

Not that any of our local dealerships can figure that out!

They should engrave their name on the bumper like they did back in the day

Looking at Google images that might have only been a Texas thing haha. That would be damn unique today, and would probably sell some steel bumper upgrades for them as well.

I have zero artistic talent, so I’ll let some with these skills try to bring it to life. A gen 1 Bronco grille with headlights and turn signals intact and GRANGER in place of the FORD across the center of the grille. Maybe three to four inches in length, so as not to be intrusive, but instantly recognizable.

I agree. I will be keeping the Granger logo on my Bronco for the reasons you listed.

Bad joke time:
1 - Too bad Granger isn't on/near Rt. 66 because that would totally add old school vibe
2 - They might even have a song, almost, named after them "La Grange"(r).
