As a Ford Motor Company employee who has built the F-Series pickup for over twenty years, I'd like to thank Mr. Montgomery for continuing to support Ford Motor Company all these years since he left us. Thank you for showing us your store. I wish it were convenient for me to drop in for a visit and to say hello and thank you in person. Thanks, John, for introducing us to these wonderful folks.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

A case and a Ford. I had a neighbor or stop by the other day (new here) asking about my payments on my truck and how it was doing. I said, that’s a 2015 ford, first aluminum Body, first they came out with. Im a widow and traded in my car for a 4wd trick. They have one of them electric little cars. I bought that truck with 22k miles on it, still from factory with warranty and paid cash. I find it funny I have to explain myself to this day. You gonna live in the mountains, you better have a 4wd truck. Especially if you a woman and alone.

Then, at the check out counter, the cashier, hitting the price keys on a large cash register without even looking, and the “Green Stamps,” that they would give out.
