Auto Giant Taps Texas to Build Hispanic Interest
April 28, 2005

Ford Motor Co. is targeting the Latino market in Texas with a special-edition pickup truck.

The automaker has tapped Latino singer and actor Pablo Montero to appear with the bright red F-150 Lobo in Spanish-language TV ads that broke this week. The truck has unique Lobo badging on the taillights and unique wheels and floor mats.

"The F-150 is the best selling truck in the Hispanic market, and a lot of Mexicans in Texas are familiar with the Ford Lobo (which is not an F-150), which has been available for years in Mexico," said Ford Marketing Manager Alvaro Cabal. "By looking at what we learned about F-150 sales in different markets, we wanted to take advantage."

The timing of the TV campaign is linked to Cinco de Mayo celebrations and concerts, and Ford plans to showcase the F-150 Lobo at those events, Cabal said.

Cabal said Ford's hope is that Mexican truck buyers in Texas will see the F-150 Lobo as a status symbol.

"A lot of Mexicans come to Texas looking for a better life, and they want to use brands that they are familiar with," Cabal said. "We're crossing the border with this brand."

The vehicle will be available exclusively at Texas dealerships during the month of May, with the success of the launch determining product growth. Based on Ford's research, other possible target markets for the F-150 Lobo include California, Arizona and New Mexico, where large Latino populations exist.

"We haven't contemplated expanding the program yet, but it is something we are open to," Cabal said.

Next they'll re-vamp the ranchero.

WATCHMAN--Good Find....connect the dots.

Ford Foundation is one of the major underwriters of the Open Borders Lobby, National Council of La Raza, ACLU, and if you see the recent topic I posted, the OBL Ford Foundation United Nations Millenium Mandate (the summit to place world standards on world society including Americans). Somehow ILGA and NAMBLA had gained approval to participate in the summit agenda due to the agenda to protect children. They wanted to change through the United Nations Millenium Mandate, the proposed new social laws of a new world order, the age consent laws of children around the world to age 6.

All this to sell some pick-ups to Latinos?

Well......it's all to do something.....to sell some pick-ups and a whole lot more....

Who and What Are These People???

Well.....I can tell you all this much....if the Globalists win and they still let us have BBQ's, they won't be in my backyard on Saturday Afternoon.

These people are sick, dangerous and need to be locked up.

Somehow ILGA and NAMBLA had gained approval to participate in the summit agenda due to the agenda to protect children.

Um Protect the Children?......

Is Ford Motor Company and Ford Foundation the same or interconnected?

Just because it says "Ford" doesn't mean they're connected.

From a post on FR Judy referenced elsewhere:

To be fair, I think the Ford Motor Company has disclaimed any connection with the foundation.

It was started by a Ford (not sure which one), and once held most of its assets as shares of the Ford company, but no longer does. It is now completely independent bearing only the name.

Judy-without the very rich (Globalists) we couldn't have international drug and prostitution rings,a kiddie porn industry,or extortion via terrorism.

Thanks Watchman--Good to know. Ford should have trademarked its name.

Hmmmm.....I'm sure Ford did trademark their name.

If I were Ford Motor Company and didn't want the connection with the Ford Foundation, which I can surely understand, I'd knock on whatever Ford's door it is that's underwriting these activites with money earned from the stock of the Ford Motor Company...and tell 'em to rename it.

You know....to be fair....wouldn't want customers in the market place confused with purchasing a Ford Truck to find out later their purchase was underwritng the ACLU, ILGA and NAMBLA.

That could slow sales in that particular market if not all Ford markets.

The Ford Foundation - Founded by Henry Ford and Edsel Ford, Founders of Ford Motor Motor Company. The two entities are separate. One is a for-profit corporation, publicly traded, this is Ford Motor Company. The other is the "charitable" foundation created by the money Henry Ford and Edsel Ford made from Ford Motor Company.

Our 12 offices in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Russia enable staff to address global problems by supporting those living and working closest to them.

The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to:

Strengthen democratic values,
Reduce poverty and injustice,
Promote international cooperation and
Advance human achievement
This has been our purpose for more than half a century.

Created with gifts and bequests by Henry and Edsel Ford, the Foundation is an independent organization, with its own board, and is entirely separate from the Ford Motor Company.

For example, you'll see $1,000,000 charitable contribution in 2003 to an organization named:
