Hey BBYE, I'm just curious as to how you went about attempting to contact them? Did you email, or write a letter? Who, or where did you send it too? I have no problem trying to get on board, and help out trying to get an answer, or repsonse to your concerns, I just want to make sure we are going about it the right way. Calling someone out, on a forum that they never frequent is quite honestly a waste of your time, and will not gain you any results, I'm sure. Like I said I'm more than happy to help.

Ok so I decided to try contacting Ford myself regarding some of the concerns raised on this thread about the 50 year celebrations in Canada, or lack there of, and to my surprise, I got a reply to my email in less than 24 hours. This is what they wrote me:

Nice job DublDee, all it takes is one guy who can take the right approach and ask the right questions. Ford's really listening to it's buying public when you get an answer that fast.

That is nice to read/hear. I will definitely try to make one if there is one in SWO.

I agree 100%. It's not what you say, it's how you express, and say it that can either make or break conversation, or response.

DublDee

Thanks Guys. If I receive more feedback from Ford, I will certainly post it.

DublDee

Well I have to admit, that I am very impressed with the response back from both Ford Canada, and Ford Motor Company in the U.S. I received another email from Ford Canada, once again thanking me for contacting them with "our" concerns, but even more surprising, I received this from Ford Motor Company, asking for contact info so they can call me to discuss plans for the 50 celebration in Canada.

Hello Darren,
Thanks for reaching out to Ford Motor Company in the U.S regarding Mustang 50 Years Celebrations in Canada. I would like to call you later this week to discuss our preliminary plans to celebrate Mustang 50 Years in Canada this summer. At what number can I call you?

Well I have provided them with my cell number, and we'll see what they have to say, but if any of you have questions, concerns or suggestions for the 50th year celebrations in Canada, please post them on this thread ASAP so that I can discuss all of them when they call.

PS: Guys, I really think this is cool, and I also think it speaks volumes for Ford to step up to the plate and take this serious. Obviously our concerns and opinions matter, and that's very refreshing.....especially this day in age, so start providing me with input, I don't want this all to be for nothing.

Guess if you ask nice, and not all ignorant and stuff, you get results. Once again, well done DublDee, kind of puts all the negative talk about Ford into perspective.

DublDee

Absolutely, now let's hope the person(s) looking for answers are going to provide me with their questions or comments so I have something to discuss with them, since they are taking time out of their busy days to contact me.
