There’s a special kind of excitement on the lot when someone finds the perfect vehicle to match their spirit, and we all felt it today!

We want to give a big congratulations and a warm welcome to Amy, who just drove home in her brand-new 2024 Ford Bronco Sport!

The Ford Bronco Sport is built for those who live for the weekend and embrace adventure wherever it leads. With its rugged capability and iconic style, we know Amy is going to have an incredible time exploring everything Michigan has to offer, from city streets to scenic trails.

A special thank you goes out to our fantastic sales consultant, Blaine, who helped Amy find the perfect match for her needs. Our goal is always to make the car-buying process easy and enjoyable, and Blaine exemplifies that commitment.

Amy, on behalf of the entire team here at Friendly Ford, thank you so much for entrusting us with your vehicle purchase. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. We wish you countless miles of safe travels and thrilling adventures in your new Bronco Sport.

Welcome to the Friendly Ford family!

Flyer for the 34th Annual Antique Tractor & Engine Show, July 18-19 at Nike Park in Newport, Michigan, featuring Ford & Ferguson tractors and sponsored by Friendly Ford

This weekend, the air in Newport will be filled with the nostalgic rumble of history. Long before the F-150 became an icon of American strength, Ford was a revolutionary force on the farm, and we’re excited to celebrate that rich heritage!

Friendly Ford is proud to be a sponsor of the 34th Annual Antique Tractor & Engine Show, hosted by the Southeast Michigan Antique Tractor and Engine Association. This year’s event is especially exciting for us, as it’s Featuring Ford & Ferguson tractors—a direct link to the innovation and durability that still defines the Ford brand today.

  • Tractor Displays & Daily Parades: See beautifully restored antique tractors, including classic Ford models.
  • Flea Market & Craft Show: Browse unique items and support local artisans.
  • Food Trucks & Entertainment: Enjoy delicious food and a lively, festive atmosphere.
  • Kids Games & Tractor Games: Fun for the entire family!

As dedicated members of this community, the team at Friendly Ford wouldn’t miss it for the world. We will have our own tent set up at the event, and we invite you to stop by and say hello! Come chat with our team about everything from the historic Ferguson to the latest Ford lineup. We love talking about the legacy of power, reliability, and innovation that connects these incredible antique machines to the vehicles in our showroom today.
