The New F-150: It’s Electric!

January 31, 2019 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

If you love electric cars and the Ford F-150, get ready! Ford has confirmed that it will build a fully-electric F-series pickup, marking the first time the automaker has officially revealed such a vehicle is in the works.

It has been reported that Ford Executive Vice President Jim Farley told attendees of the Deutsche Bank Global Automotive Conference in Detroit that “we’re going to be electrifying the F-Series – battery electric and hybrid.”

Ford Spokesman Mike Levine stated that they are working on “a new way to better serve our truck customers.” This all comes about when Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been teasing the industry with a pending unveiling of pickups. For those of you that are still skeptical about electric cars, here are three reasons why electric cars might be the best option for everyone.

They Save You Money

No matter where you plug in across the country, electric vehicles are cheaper to fuel than gas powered automobiles. Electric vehicles can also save you on maintenance costs because they don’t need oil changes, spark plugs, timing belts, and no routine maintenance.

They offer a Better Driving Experience

Electric vehicles have a low center of gravity and this improves your driving experience. In addition, an electric engine generates instant torque that improve acceleration and deceleration.

They cut your emissions

The average EV in the U.S today produces the emissions equivalent of a gasoline car that gets 73 miles per gallon. The emissions performance of EVs is set to only improve as wind and solar power displace coal-fired electricity generation. This means they are better for you and better for the environment.

Here at Lamarque Ford, we are so excited about all of the changes that are coming to Ford. We understand all of the benefits of electric cars and we are ready to get these new electric F-150’s on our lot!

Looking for a Mardi Gras Car?

January 15, 2019 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

For many people around Louisiana, Christmas decorations have come down and king cakes have invaded our homes. Here at Lamarque Ford, we love to celebrate and especially around this time of year when our city comes alive! We have some special mardi gras vehicles for sale at Lamarque Ford! Before we give you the details, here is some history about the colors of Mardi Gras.

Rex selected the official Mardi Gras colors in 1872 and gave them meaning.

Purple- representing justice.

Green- representing faith.

Gold- representing power.

These Mardi Gras colors influenced the choice of school colors for arch rivals Louisiana State University and Tulane University. When LSU was deciding their colors, the shops in New Orleans had already stocked up on purple, green, and gold material for Mardi Gras Season. Because of this, LSU decided upon purple and gold and bought most of it. Tulane then bought the only remaining color: green.

In modern day, we enjoy delicious king cake that is sprinkled with these three colors, dress up in whacky costumes with these colors, and decorate our front porches with glittery variations of these colors. Here at Lamarque Ford, if you are really serious about showcasing your Mardi Gras pride, here are some vehicles for you!

  1. Purple Used vehicle
  2. Green
  3. Gold

As Carnival season has officially started, we hope that everyone has a fantastic Mardi Gras this year!
