Ford Making Trek Back to Carlisle with More Participation than Ever Before

Carlisle All-Ford Nationals: June 5-7 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds

Thursday, June 04, 2009

The Carlisle All-Ford Nationals, held June 5-7th at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, is the largest All-Ford event in the world, demonstrating the strength and passion of Blue Oval enthusiasts. The All-Ford Nationals will attract Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lovers displaying vehicles ranging from high-performance new models to vintage Model-Ts.

Ford Motor Company recognizes the importance of reaching out to the army of die-hard Carlisle All-Ford Nationals attendees and will this year have a larger presence at this year’s event than ever before, despite uncertain times for many auto makers. "In a tough climate for the 'Big Three' domestic car makers, we couldn’t be more excited to have Ford Motor Company stepping up their presence here at the All-Ford Nationals.” Rick Markko, All-Ford Nationals Event Manager continues, “Ford will be taking over the Carlisle Expo Center just a block and a half from the fairgrounds with test drives and their DRIVE ONE Tour, free and open to the public."

In addition to the DRIVE ONE Tour and test drives, Ford will host the Blue Thunder Monster Jam monster truck and driver Linsey Weenk, which is sure to be a family favorite. Some of the most anticipated new Ford models will be on display throughout the weekend, including the much anticipated: Ford SVT Raptor F-150, the breath taking: 2010 Taurus SHO, the newly redesigned: Ford Shelby GT500 and the best in class fuel saving: 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Ford Racing will have on-site instillations for after-market Mustang parts and accessories, installed by a Ford Racing Dealer.
