      Maryland Ford Dealership Thrives From Consumer Confidence in Ford Motor Company

       By Preston Motor
       Dated: Aug 12, 2009

       Ford Motor Company has proved a federal bailout was not needed in order to succeed. Preston Ford in
       Maryland has noticed the success of Ford’s restructuring selling over 170 new vehicles in the past few
       weeks.

       The automotive industry is beginning to pick back up, while government programs have helped in the
       effort; consumers have demonstrated their faith in the Ford Motor Company brand. Preston Automotive
       Group serving Maryland and Delaware has noticed the vast inquiries and large amount sales from their
       Ford franchises.

        In the first week of the government sponsored program, Cash for Clunkers, officially called the Car
       Allowance Rebate System, customers flocked to Ford dealerships all over the country making the Ford
       Focus the top selling vehicle for the opening week of the program. The program also spurred the sales of
       the world’s first ever Hybrid sport utility vehicle, the Ford Escape, also best selling cross-over during the
       first week and 6th overall best seller.

        Ford’s surge of success with the program led to strong second quarter financial reporting and lessened the
       possible need for federal assistance. Thanks to Ford’s dealership network and iron-clad marketing
       structure, the program was a success and with the recently approved extension of the program should
       proceed without any hiccups. Preston Ford, a Maryland Ford Dealership in the Business Preferred
       Network, has sold over 170 new vehicles under the CARS program and thanks to the extension, continues
       to sell vehicles with the government incentive.

        Ford Motor Company continues to expand their respective markets, with the release of their new
       commercial vehicle, the Transit Connect and the redesigned Taurus. The revamped 2010 Mustang and
       Fusion add to Ford’s momentum in the rebuilding and redesign of the automobile industry and next year
       Americans can expect to see the all new Ford Fiesta subcompact available for sale in North America.

        Ford has separated their company from their competition with innovative ideas and by not accepting a
       federal bailout Ford has won the respect of loyal patrons and even new customers. Ford was able to
       restructure just as well as the competition without federal funding and while Ford has more debt they still
       are doing much better than GM or Chrysler.
