Wow.....when I worked at Buick dealership when I was 19 and 20 learning the ropes sortta speak, I was a grunt, took people home, or work who dropped their Buicks off for service, ran to go get parts, shagged used cars, (1978 was a big year for Regals) lots of used cars at the dealership. But anyway this dealership had a staging area where cars were pulled off the transports, and the vins showed if they were dealer ordered or special order. The specials went to another area until the customer was notified. A couple of times I got to do this!!! That was great. ( customers were so thrilled) This dealership had around 10 to 12 twelve demo-cars. So the special's were NEVER driven until cleared. ( customer contact) They immediately went to new car prep>>>>which I sometimes had to do, NOT fun painstaking actually. Checking for everything to be there. Buick at time was unmerciful about new car prep! (when GM was still a good company) They wanted NO Issues, even back then! But anyway that was 40 years ago and times change. My parents were always Ford people, it was my bother-in-law who changed me to Chevrolet(GM). I was a Chevy man until 2004 when GM decided customers aren't necessary, and I bought my first Dodge Truck. Sorry Ford fans...I sold it and bought a Chrysler Sebring convert. Wife took it, and I bought I Jeep Patriot TrailHawk. Now have the Challenger. I have 1970 Montego which I'm restoring (love it). My significant other has the 2017 F-150 5.0 which is I must say, I would have bought instead of the Challenger, if I knew . I love the Challenger, but FORD nailed the Truck for everyday people! That truck is amazing. (it has 80k miles on it, NO probs) So this is partly why I want a Bronco. Sorry for the rant, just a little history of BroncoMax. My Uncle had a 1969 Bronco >>>>>>>>>WHITE, new....It was cool. I loved it as kid. That is my first introduction to a BRONCO. My sister owned Jeeps>>>CJ's. I have never had really something this wonderful. So....I'm praying my BRONCO build is what I have dreamt of for many, many years. I love the look of it. I have scrutinized every build on the Bronco and the Bronco Sport. This is a winner if FORD presses the basic ones. The over the top ones are pricey. FORD SOLD thousands more base Mustangs than they did K's. Again everyone I'm really excited about this. WHITE > Ford! Baja On! Sorry I must add most auto company's don't want your special order driven unnecessarily. It prolongs the warranty. That is why Dealerships back in the day had demos. I drove a Buick Estate Wagon with small signs on the two front doors proclaiming what Dearlership this car was from. Just to say this to end>>>. This Buick Dealership had customers who ORDERED NEW BUICKS, every year. I never was around such things as that. But that was customer service. Finally>>>>where ever I was in the Dealership>>>>If anyone stopped and asked me a question, I had to STOP what I was doing, and take them to whom I thought could answer their questions. Immediately! If I was shaggin cars, or in that Estate wagon....where ever. The CUSTOMER WAS FIRST! FORD?
Baja on! As Ford Spanked the competition in 1969, in the Baja 1000, NO OTHER AUTOMAKER HAS, replicated in 50 plus years
