What is so significant about the name Edison? Thomas Edison stole the light bulb and got all the credit, Commonwealth Edison is who my parent pay for their light bulbs to come on every month, and Edison is also the name of the prestigious award that Ford Motor Company has four technologies in the finals for. Stick with me, this will all make sense really soon.

And here’s the sense, Ford is Awesome! What’s that? You need more? Then let me go further.

The Edison Awards are really holding Ford on high for leading the industry with such innovations as Ford’s now famous Sync System. My girlfriend has it. Believe me, she loves it. I drive a pretty nice car, but because I don’t have the Sync System I hear how her car is better than mine all the time. I grew up with Ford all my life, my grandfather worked for them for twenty years before my life started, and his father actually had a Model T on the farm. Ford has been a way of life for my family for four generations and I still find myself awed by the blue oval every year. It’s nice to back a winner.

Safety

Have you heard of an inflatable seat belt? The new Explorer has it. This new innovation is so new that I didn’t even know what it is and like it I said, I’m from the Ford loyal family. Down here in Frankfort, Ford has a pretty solid place in folks’ lives. You can’t take a trip down the road without seeing about a dozen F-150’s and of course near everyone has gotten on the Fusion bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great wagon to ride, so is the car. If you take the trip from Frankfort to Louisville, Ford will again be one of if not the dominant cars on the road.

Thank You Mr. Ford

Ford has helped raise my family for generations. They gave my great grandfather a machine to help on the farm, that yes he did later trade for a horse, but it got him the horse right? Ford gave my grandfather a career for 30 years to raise my dad who bought an F-150 for me to learn to drive in and so on. We are a Ford Family.
