TIME Names Ford America’s Most Iconic Company

Recently, TIME named Ford America’s Most Iconic Company, in a list celebrating America’s 250th birthday!
TIME and Statista conducted a nationally representative survey of U.S. residents to rank the 250 American companies that are not only commercially successful, but have played a vital role in shaping culture and society.
Ford Motor landed at #1!
To quote TIME, “Ford Motor Company, which tops the list, has long aligned its brand with the American identity. Known for making cars accessible to the masses by bringing down production costs through the assembly line and distributing it across the U.S. via a locally-based dealer-franchise system, Ford transformed the manufacturing process and also transportation for the average American, reshaping the development of cities and suburbs.”
At Two Rivers Ford, we’re honored to be part of such a long and rich history of engineering, evolution, and growth of our incredible country.
We love what we do at Two Rivers Ford, and we love the role we play in the history of the United States. But we can’t be stuck in the past. We’re ready to help move this country forward, both literally and figuratively! Cheers to the last 123 years of Ford Motor, and here’s the 123 more!

Be Safe Out There!

With all the crazy winter weather rolling into Middle Tennessee this weekend, we want to remind you to be extra safe out there! Whether it’s just a few inches of snow, or a whole bunch, be careful. If you have to get out on the roads, drive slow and cautiously, and be mindful of others out there!

The dealership will be closed on Saturday, and we will be calling customers early next week, to discuss upcoming appointments and possible closings.
