| Thanks for posting the story Bob, that makes an interesting read. I've heard so many versions of it and read about as many, that it makes it hard to know the truth. It appears to me that Ford wasn't really prepared to pay much of anything for the name. Doing so would have essentially admitted lack of long term planning or vision. Naturally, we all know that they don't have a long term plan or vision, but they like to think they do.
Nice contribution and I hope you enjoy our community and come back often.
