History of the Ford Mustang
History of the Ford Mustang
From the moment the Ford Mustang was introduced 50 years ago, it was destined to be the classic and much-loved American muscle car it is. On April 16th 1964, the first day it became available in dealerships, more than 22,000 Mustangs were driven off of Ford dealership lots. Within a year of its introduction, nearly half a million Mustangs were rolling down American highways.
History of the Ford F-150 Pickup
Ford Motor Company has a long and distinguished history of building some of the toughest and most dependable trucks you can buy. In fact, Henry Ford built his first trucks beginning in 1905, even before the first Model T rolled off the assembly line, and while those early trucks bear little resemblance to today’s modern pickups, the Ford F-150 history can’t really be told without acknowledging the evolution of Ford trucks in general.

How to Finance a Car with Bad Credit
For Georgia drivers that have bad credit, you may have been told that financing a new or used car is out of the question. Well, at Athens Ford we understand that having bad credit doesn’t make you a bad person. Our bad credit, car finance team specializes in getting great financing even for drivers with low credit scores. If your credit has taken a hit like so many other folks around here in Athens or out in Winder, Jefferson and Loganville, give us a chance to show you what we can do.
If you’re in the market for a used Ford, we’d like to share a little advice. The peace of mind that you get from buying a certified pre-owned Ford vs. a used Ford just can’t be over-stated. Knowing that the car or truck you’re buying has been certified by our technicians as mechanically sound is far better than trusting someone who says they’ve maintained it.
Top 5 Ways to Maintain your Car
At Athens Ford, we believe that educating our customers about vehicle maintenance is the best way to help them avoid costly repairs down the road. Cars and trucks built in the past decade or so require less maintenance than vehicles of the past – but that doesn’t mean you can ignore basic maintenance and upkeep of your new car or truck.
