Windshield Wiper Tips

Published by

Hey all! Today we’re focusing all on your windshield wipers. Rainy season is approaching here in Texas and we want to make sure you’re ready to drive safely in potential downpours. We’ve collected tips from a Ford expert and from our very own Barry Beard. Enjoy! How to refill wiper fluid – Pop hood and search for lid with wiper blades. Fill it up, fill the reservoir with wiper fluid, until it’s almost full. Close the cap and drop the hood.  Easy peasy!   Replacing wiper blades- Lift wiper blades up and search for locking mechanism. Unlock it and wiper blades should detach. (This does vary from vehicle to vehicle, so be sure to check owner’s manual.) Installation is also simple. Lock your new blade into where you detached the old blade and you will hear a click. You’re good to go! But how to know when it’s time to change your wiper blades? We talked to our own Barry Beard on this one. He let us know that the wear indicators on our wiper blades are great at informing …

Throwback Thursday: Let’s travel to 1959.

Top 5 Best Things about 1959. 5. The prices of well…everything. The price of gasoline was about .25 – .30 cents a gallon and they had guys in cute little uniforms come out and do a full service check.   4. The TV. 3 Words: I Love Lucy.   3. The styles.Women in the 50’s always looked impeccable and classy with their updoes and modest attire. 2. The music. Johnny Cash dominated the air waves and Elvis was on his way up. Listen to Folsum Prison Blues just once and try not to get it stuck in your head.   1. The cars. The vehicles from 1959 were like fine art on wheels. Let’s agree that the men who created Ford vehicles back in the day were true artists.   Now we can’t bring Johnny back to life or let you pay 25 cents a gallon for gasoline but we can still sell you this beauty: The 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible Coupe (Sunliner) with a beautiful red and colonial white coat.     Check this classic car out on …

Today I Learned: Getting Pulled Over In Style

Published by

Did you know that Ford has a website where police officers can post pictures of their beautiful new Ford police vehicles? Officers from all over the world have posted pictures of their new rides through the interceptors on duty campaign. Now that the iconic Crown Vic or as I like to call it “the cop car” is no longer in production, police departments are searching for vehicles that are just as sturdy and reliable. Obviously many have gone with what’s tried and true with Ford. Pictures like this almost make you want get pulled over to check them out…almost. Not only are these vehicles gorgeous but Ford has made them specifically for the boys in blue and boast features like being designed “specifically for pursuit driving.” So browse through and hope you don’t ever see any of these beauties in your rearview. And if you feel yourself getting car envy don’t worry you don’t have to join the police academy or get arrested to end up in a Ford. Just pay Leif Johnson a visit!
