The Amazing, Classic, Ford Bronco

April 16, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

After years of teasing, Ford’s President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs and Vice President of Global Development confirmed the Bronco’s comeback last year. One of the most famous, (or infamous) Ford Broncos are for sale currently: OJ Simpson’s. For those of you that are looking for a Ford Bronco that is less famous, trust no dealership other than Lamarque Ford. If you are still interested in purchasing the white Ford Bronco that Mr. Simpson once drove, here are the details.

This Bronco may have led police on one of the wildest police chases in history. Mike Gilbert happens to own this Ford Bronco and thinks that he can get between $750,000 to One million. The SUV is currently sitting in the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Last August, the famous Bronco has been showcased on Pawn Stars on The History Channel. On the show, customers present their stuff at a Las Vegas pawn shop and discuss a price with the owners and decide whether to sell. A previous offer of $500,000 was made for the Bronco, but the owner Mike Gilbert says that he wants to sell it for much more and give the money to his kids.

For those of you who want a Bronco in general, there are many reasons why the Bronco is still a sought out SUV. Ford made sure the Bronco was versatile, offering it in three configurations: a pickup, wagon, and roadster. All three modes rode on a 92-inch wheelbase. The Bronco was specifically engineered to handle a higher payload.

Many Ford experts believe that nostalgia alone has kept the Ford Bronco in people’s minds and have helped the fan base highly anticipate the new 2020 Ford Bronco. If you are looking for a Ford in Louisiana, Lamarque Ford stays unmatched in knowledge, expertise, and helpfulness. Come to Lamarque Ford and see why we are the best Ford Dealership around!

Greatest Movie And TV Fords | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner

May 20, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Ford has always been known to make a statement, including a heavy presence in pop culture for the last several decades. Many of our favorite movies and shows feature at least one iconic Ford model that saves the day, solves the crime or gets the girl.

1966 Ford Lincoln Batmobile

We have selected ten of the most memorable films and series starring Ford vehicles, from the oldest to most recent. Movie buff or not, you may recognize a few of these famous Fords.

Batman (1966) (series) – There isn’t much not to love about Batman, and before Michael Keaton, George Clooney and Christian Bale wore the mask, Adam West ran the show in the 1960 series. However, the big star of the television program was none other than the 1955 Ford Lincoln Futura Concept Car, also know as the “Batmobile”.

Starsky and Hutch (1975) (series) – If the Starsky and Hutch series tells us anything it is that you don’t need a fancy suit styled after a flying mammal to fight crime, but you might need a red and white Ford Gran Torino. The “Striped Tomato” became emblematic for the show that was centered around two street-smart cops solving crimes. Although the “Striped Tomato” was switched from a ’74 model to a ’73 model throughout the run of the series the car was made to look identical in each scene.

Grease (1978) – “Auto-matic, Systo-matic, Hydro-matic”, it was the 1948 Ford De Luxe “Greased Lightning” that had audiences loving the famous 70’s musical, set in the 1950s. The car not only appeared in several of the high-energy singing and dancing scenes but was responsible for the final drag race that took place near the end of the movie when Danny and our beloved “T-Birds” triumphantly took the win.

RoboCop (1987) – In the 1980s, Ford was taking some big hits from the competition. That is, until a line of cars only a year old at the time called the Ford Taurus found its way on to the set of RoboCop. The movie, set in a fictionalized Detroit used all Taurus LX’s as police cars and brought the line to life. Still today Taurus is the fourth-oldest nameplate in the Ford family sold in North America.

Thelma and Louise (1991) – If you’re going to go on a cross-country road trip filled with self discovery might as well do it in a stylish 1966 Ford Thunderbird. Although the unlikely duo pack many miles on the getaway ride, the most memorable scene is the dramatic exit when the Ford convertible flies through the air off a cliff from the Grand Canyon.

Jurassic Park (1993) – The jungle, the ripples in the water, the green and yellow Ford Explorer XLT, Jurassic Park gave a whole new meaning to “built Ford tough” when angry t-rex ripped this 1991 SUV to shreds and it still lasted (almost) throughout the rest of the movie.

Dumb and Dumber (1994) – You may have a hard time recognizing this 1984 customized Ford Econoline, but when Harry and Lloyd navigated this K-9 inspired van to Aspen it was hard to forget.

The Big Lebowski (1998) –  No vehicle quite represented the carefree white-Russian drinking “Dude” like his worn in 1973 Ford Gran Torino. This 90’s cult favorite showed the 73′ model Torino in a new light and was one of the iconic pieces that made this movie so hilarious to watch.

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) – The Ford Mustang has always been an incredible classic timepiece for American pop culture, and in the fast-action film the revamped 1973 Mustang made this millennium movie standout from others of its kind.

Scooby Doo (2002) – Last on our list is probably one of the most well-known of the big screen automobile’s that belonged to a group of problem solving teenagers and one very hungry dog. “The Mystery Machine”, a bright blue and green custom Ford Econoline van, has always been an eye-catching set of wheels since its cartoon series in 1969.
