Your Fords might not have died away, but my dealings with the dealer maintenance is as bad as it gets. I wouldn't have a Ford product on a bet. I bought a new '91 Cougar. That dealer closed its doors not too long afterwards, so I used the Ford dealer, who took over the maintenance. Well I had a problem, the automatic safety belt (covered by warrantee, of course), that they (them and another) just couldn't get it right. They, their head maintenance guy, finally told me to go away and never come back.

My Brother had the same problem with his local Ford dealer and won't have a new ever again but does have some T's and I just sent him a '30 A. I can't work on them very well myself anymore but there is a mechanic at the local Ford Dealership who likes to work on mine if I supply the parts. Know one guy who leaves the keys in hkis T and sometimes someone will say to him, "You left the keys in your car. Someone will steal it." His reply is, "No they won't because they don't know how to drive it." Always can draw a crowd if I decide to crank start. Seems no one has ever seen that before except the old guys and for them it is nostalgia. I also tell the watchers that if I turn the crank five times the car will go five miles after it starts. Get some people who sit and think about that.
