Beechmont Ford, Ford Motor Company and Glen Este High School have teamed for area teens in honor of the Drive One 4 UR School program.

May 15, 2010, all three groups will raise money for Glen Este High School by permitting individuals to test drive various Ford vehicles.  Drive One 4 UR School will provide Glen Este High School with a large line-up of new Ford vehicles for parents and teenagers (over the age of eighteen) to test drive throughout the local area.  The 2011 Ford Fiesta will be available for test drives, along with the award-winning Fusion, the economical Focus, the 33 year running truck champion F-150 and the stylish Ford Flex.

Brittany Iredale, our Ford Fiesta Specialist, Internet marketing guru and Glen Este alum, provides a brief overview of the program below.

Block May 15, 2010 on your calendars and help support Glen Este High School.  For every test drive for a family, the school receives $20!

See you May 15!

It is Cincinnati Auto Expo time at Beechmont Ford and boy are we excited to share some great information regarding a recent commercial taping and new Ford Motor Company incentives.

Many customers compliment our owner, Lorinn Williams, for her ability to consistently produce wonderful commercials.  From her pose, to her clear speech, to her warmth, our customers continuously ask us, “How does she do it?”  Many times we respond, “She is just that good.”  (Honestly, Lorinn is a great owner).

In response to many requests from our customers, we felt the need to share with you a few “behind-the-scenes” clips of a recent commercial taping.  The commercial taping is the new Cincinnati Auto Expo show commercial released this week on our local television stations, our Facebook Fan Page and Youtube channel.  The three videos below will give you a brief idea of how the commercials are created and the admirable behind the scenes work involved in presenting the Ford vehicles.  Sit back, relax and enjoy the commercials.  Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Ford Motor Company has released an extra $1,000 customer bonus cash on behalf of the Cincinnati Auto Expo.  This is a great addition to the already competitively priced Ford vehicles line-up.  Whether you are interested in an economically efficient 2010 Ford Focus, a Motor Trend award winning 2010 Ford Fusion, a re-designed 2010 Ford Taurus, the best in class 2010 Ford Flex, the 33 year sales leading champion 2010 Ford F-150 or any of our other phenomenal vehicles, you can view them at the Auto Show and pick it up from Beechmont Ford.

Henry Ford opened a commissary in Detroit, Michigan, for Ford employees only.  When he offered the five dollar a day wage, local merchants raised their prices.  He was so upset he opened a store that sold food, clothes, tools, etc. at much lower prices than other stores.

(Sounds a lot like Sam Walton)

Some argue that Mr. Ford may have had the first supermarket in the United States.

Thanks for sharing David Risher.
