Not so flattering references to Ford....Hmmm
Perhaps Ford should be allowed to continue their advertising that says they did not take a government handout. (The WH asked them to stop.)
That was my first thought, too. On the other hand, the Granada was a horrible car.
My Dad bought one new in '76 (I think) and it was pretty to my 23 year old eyes. He constantly bragged that he'd paid $5000 which was what a Lincoln cost in the fifties.
Dear old Dad wasn't really aware that the dollar was collapsing or that, unfortunately, so was the Granada. Nonetheless, Obama should not have disparaged Ford.
After all, Dad and I, both forgave Ford for the Granada and stayed loyal Ford owners all our lives.
Personally I believe they should run a whole series of commericals like that. All the time. Forever. That commercial was unscripted and the people just came out and said it on their own. Ford should start going further and just make commercials flat-out saying this and it ought to be in every commerical they run for the rest of the company’s life.
