The Ford Factory Homecoming 2017
By David Cantagallo
The 2017 Ford Homecoming was a two country event. The event started with
a tour of the Ford Essex Engine Plant (Home of the Ford Coyote 5.0). then dinner
with Raj Nair (he was the VP of Manufacturing at the time). Raj was given a
pewter Pantera. We also had a 2018 Ford GT in the lobby.
On Saturday we crossed the border and drove to the Edsel Ford Mansion
where we had lunch with Edsel. He signed a few car seats and we gave him a
pewter Pantera
too.
Following lunch we drove to Ford Headquarters with police escort. The
police shut down the highway for us to open up the Pantera's which was an
amazing event.
The
Facebook 2017 Pantera Homecoming page has some videos.
Then we took pictures at HQ and came back to Canada and went for dinner
in Windsor's Little Italy. Sunday we all went home.
The event raised $10,000 for JDRF that is working to improving lives a cure
for diabetes.
