We’ve heard about brand loyalty before, especially in the United States, where Ford/Chevrolet truck drivers rarely switch between the brands, but what you’re about to read below surpasses anything you can think of...
Floyd Pullin, a man from Confluence, Pennsylvania, just took delivery of its 16th Ford automobile, a brand new F-150 STX. Nothing weird so far, but how about it we tell you that Pullin is 102 years old and a customer loyal to the Blue Oval since 1926? That’s right folks, Floyd’s been buying Ford products since the company was still owned by Henry Ford himself, and his first ever Blue Oval-badged vehicle was a Model T.
To celebrate Pullin’s 102nd birthday and 87th year of total Ford commitment, the Michigan-based automaker has put together a party at Thurby Riverside Ford in Confluence that was joined by the Ford Trucks team and State Senator Rich Kasunic. In addition, Floyd was named honorary Ford Trucks president for a day, one that he probably won’t forget for the rest of his life. Scroll below to watch the special birthday video Ford made for its very special customer.
