BRIGHTON, Mich - This past Sunday, the latest "Need for Speed" and Ford Mustang Ad debuted during the Daytona 500. The co-branded commercial brought two anticipated events into one and will be broadcasted this up-coming weekend for the world to see on television and in movie theaters.
The ad features scenes from the upcoming "Need for Speed" film, hitting theaters on March 14th, where main character Toby Marshall tries to get his life back on track. Toby Marshall is portrayed by Emmy-award winning actor, Aaron Paul, who drives across the country to avenge the death of his friend and redeem himself after a troubled life. The scenes of the ad are accompanied by a voiceover that begins to pave out the plot of the film.
The ad closes with two clever lines "Do you really think that if you've been set up, accused and convicted, a new car can put it all behind you? Depends on the car!". The end of the ad also marked the official launch of the #InaMustang campaign. This social media campaign invites fans everywhere to share their stories of where they would, could, or want to go "In a Mustang". Fans are encouraged to visit http://ford.com/inamustang and submit their stories, photos, and videos. Ford along with partnered influential content creators with social and film networks are then looking to bring the fan's stories to life.

Fuel Economy Myth Busters!
BRIGHTON, Mich - With gas prices trickling down and then shooting back up, people are always looking for ways to save money at the pump! Technology has allowed many fuel efficient fuels to be produced, however, we still have to spend a decent chunk of change on fuel. We are here to be your Fuel Economy Myth Busters and help make your next trip the gas station a little easier by providing these fuel saving tips.
Myth 1: Wake up at the crack of dawn it fill up.
Fact: Regardless if you're an early riser or a night owl, the time of day at which you fill up your tank is irrelevant. It has been said that filling up when it is cold in the morning gets you more gas. Wrong. Your car is designed to keep the gas tank at a constant temperature, so there is no change in gas volume no matter what time of day!
Myth 2: Paying more to save gas.
Fact: Many people believe that paying for a premium grade of gas will provide better gas mileage and a better performance. This is not true. Each vehicle is designed for a specific grade of gas. If you are putting a premium grade into a vehicle that is not a luxury or sport model with a high-performance engine, you are simply wasting your money. If you are unsure about which grade to use, your owner's manual will provide the recommended (or some are required) type of fuel.
Myth 3: Driving with your windows down lowers gas mileage.
Fact: Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, results of gas milage will vary. According to researchers at Edmunds.com, a pickup truck got almost 10% better gas mileage with the windows rolled down. On the other hand, Consumer Reports revealed that running the air conditioning while driving at 65mph can reduce fuel mileage by about 1 mpg or more. There are various answers to this question, but if you want to improve your gas mileage the answer is simple: drive slower.
Myth 4: Independent or non-chain gas stations have lower-quality fuel.
Fact: Local gas stations typically purchase their fuel from big name brand oil companies. Don't worry about filling up at your local gas station, you will have the same fuel economy regardless!
If you're looking to get the most mileage out of your gas tank after these Fuel Economy Myth Busters, come to Brighton Ford to upgrade to a more fuel efficient vehicle! We have a great variety of New Ford Cars for Sale that are fun to drive and will save you money at the pump! Stop by Brighton Ford to test-drive the vehicle of your choice today!

The Pioneer of Global Truck Leadership Celebrates 80th Anniversary
BRIGHTON, Mich - Ford is recognizing the Pioneer of Global Truck Leadership and Celebrates the 80th Anniversary of the iconic Ute. The Australian invention of the Ute led to the development of several popular vehicles that we enjoy today like the F-Series and Ranger. The concept had been released around the world, impacting designers by other manufacturers and gaining many fans from around the globe over the years.
The birth of the Ute came from a letter. This letter was written to managing director of Ford Motor Company Australia, Hubert French. A farmer's wife wrote him, explaining that they could not afford two vehicles, but needed some type of automobile they could drive to church as well as use for farming necessities. French then took the letter to a young designer, Lewis Brandt. Brandt developed the Ford utility as a coupe with an integrated steel-paneled load carrying area at the rear of the vehicle. He blended the "pickup" sides with a coupe body, making for a cleaner profile and a larger loading area behind the cabin. The perfect vehicle for carrying cargo and driving into town.
Over a few years, the Ford coupe-utility took on a few adjustments. Quickly it became the "must have" vehicle for rural communities. About 22,000 were sold between 1950 and 1954. Lewis Bandt's design made a huge impact on the Australian auto industry.The original design by Bandt eventually paved the road for what now has become some of the world's most popular vehicles - the Pickup or utility.
As the Pioneer of Global Truck Leadership Celebrates 80th Anniversary, we can appreciate all of the success it has brought to Ford Motor Company. Thanks to the Ute, Ford pickups globally represent one out of every five pickups sold! Without the Ute, the F-Series also wouldn't be the world's best-selling truck in the United States for 37 years in a row! Who would have thought a simple letter could turn out an idea and then a design that has impacted the entire world? Happy Anniversary, Aussie Ute and thank you for helping Ford change the world!
If you're looking for a great deal on a Ford F-Series, come to Brighton Ford! Our inventory of F-150s, F-250s, and F-350s will blow you away! We also have a great variety of Ford cars, SUVs, and crossovers at our dealership. At Brighton Ford, we do all we can ensure you are getting the right vehicle to meet all of your needs! Stop by today and we guarantee you will drive away happy!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookie Tarts
These adorable, bite size tarts are delicious and so easy to make! A baker's tip: If you only have one 12-cup mini muffin pan, shape all of the dough into balls. Fill the pan and cover the remaining balls to keep them from drying out.

The Ford Design Tool You Can Find in Your Home
BRIGHTON, Mich - Have you every truly sat down and thought about the entire car designing process? From the first sketch on a piece of paper to an actual life-size prototype? The design process is a long, creatively demanding journey and requires numerous tools in order to get the job done. Do you know which Ford Design Tool You Can Find in Your Home? Well......
The answer, tape. Yes, tape is not just for wrapping gifts or fixing ripped papers. It is a critical tool that Ford designer's need throughout the designing process. It all starts with a sketch on paper, which then progressively works its way into a scaled-down clay model and 3D CAD drawings. Eventually, a full-size clay vehicle is made to help analyze body styling options.
Now, you're probably wondering where the tape comes in. Well, tape is the main source of communication between designers and modelers. Designers use tape to show modelers the lines that they want to be perfected on the car. In order to achieve the perfect balance of concave and convex angles on a vehicle, tape is needed to decide which lines need to be moved. This flexible tool can be retaped over and and over until the designers find the precise lines that fit the look they want for the vehicle.
At one time, tape was used to draw the entire vehicle because of its ability to show accurate lines on a 1:1 scale. As technology has adapted, tape is now mainly used on clay models. Ford still uses a hefty amount of this resource today; roughly 155 miles of black tape is used per year on clay models.
The next time you are wrapping a gift, you will always remember that you are using one of the most important Ford Design Tools throughout the entire design process! Pretty cool to think about, isn't it?
Brighton Ford is your local Fenton Area Used Car Dealer with the best inventory of Used Cars for Sale! From cars and trucks to SUVs and crossovers, Brighton Ford has plenty of options for you to choose from. Stop by the dealership today to take your favorite vehicle for a test-drive!
