Is your car good enough to eat? Probably not. But we're willing to bet you'd be more likely to chow down on your car seats if they were made out of all-natural materials like soy, sugar and wheat. Of course, we're not telling you to take a bite out of your car, but we do want to tell you that Ford is making more of an effort to increase their use of...

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you know that the economy has challenged everybody - from small businesses to large automakers, we've all been tightening our belts since 2007. Most companies, like Ford, have made it through the rough patch and are emerging on the other side, stronger, more resilient, ready for whatever the economy has to throw at them. And we're not just saying that either...

The 2013 Ford Fusion garnered a lot of attention when it debuted in Detroit last month. Bo Beuckman Ford might go so far as to say it stole the show. Not that we're surprised. Nor we were surprised to hear that Ford is tweaking the Fusion to be NASCAR ready.

Not so long ago, stock cars were production cars modified by the racers themselves. These days, however, stock cars don't usually have much...

There's a reason Ford refers to the Mustang as "All legend. No compromise."¹ Well, there are a lot of reasons. Let's start with the available 412-hp engine roaring under the hood, the famous Mustang grille and fenders, the muscle that's defined the lineup since the very first one hit the streets in the 60s. Those are also a few of the many reasons that over 8.5 million Mustangs have been...

Since 1949, the Ford Motor Company Fund has supported initiatives that work to innovative educational efforts, automotive safety, and the American legacy. Through national programs like the Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies, and Ford Driving Skills for Life, Ford has helped provide many young people with valuable educational opportunities, where they learn things they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Among their many other efforts in the community, Ford has made...

In 2011, we happily watched as major automakers continued to see sales growth in the United States. Since the economy first took a dive a couple of years ago, many consumers buttoned up their wallets, waiting to see the first signs of recovery before making any major purchases. Automotive companies like Ford took the hint, redesigning individual models as well as the overall look of the lineup, to offer drivers even more options for fuel-efficient...

The original Ford Taurus wasn't a boxy piece of metal when it came out in 1986, but a light, fiberglass car. It influenced many other companies to rethink vehicle design. Between 1986 and 2007, Ford has constructed 7,519,919 models. It has become the fifth best selling North American car in Ford's history; "only the F-150, Escort, Model T, and Mustang have sold more units."¹

During the mid 1990's, Taurus was named best selling US car four years running. Taurus also went through a major body styling update in the 90's.

Ford decided to…

There are Ford trucks, then there are Ford F-150 pickups, as well as the F-150 Raptor. This supercharged mover has better design options, a rugged interior, and the ability to traverse most terrains. All this from a ride you can "pick up" at your Ford dealer.

Price for a F-150 Raptor will start you off near $43,000, and top off closer to $50,000 depending on options.

This truck is 6.4 inches wider than a standard F-150, as well as a longer wheelbase. Still, the F-150 variant is able to go vertical up steep cliffs and desert landscapes…

2013's Shelby GT500 Ford Mustang will reach 200 MPH, but remain street legal. We're not sure how that's possible, but everyone at Bo Beuckman Ford can't wait to get their hands on one!

We have to ask - will a daily driver be able to control a with a 650-horsepower V8? "Years ago, that may have been a concern," one Ford engineer stated. "But now with all the technology in these cars, they are extremely safe to drive."¹

"Engineers say the car will just top 200 mph, but will be street legal - and tame enough in…

What could be more fantastic than the Ford Mustang models currently available on the market? You're very own custom-made variant. Don't worry we're not offended. In fact, Ford has just launched a new Ford Mustang Customizer website where anyone can go to create an original Mustang design based on the Ford Mustang V6, Ford Mustang, Ford Mustang Boss 302, or Ford Shelby GT500.

Once you chose the model you'd like to serve as your base, the fun really begins. We probably spent close to an hour configuring and reconfiguring the Mustang GT 500 until we felt…
