RICH FORD PROUDLY TURNS 63!
ALBUQUERQUE – One of New Mexico’s oldest and most trusted automobile dealerships is celebrating its 63rd birthday this March. Rich Ford has been selling new and used vehicles in Albuquerque since 1961 and has earned the ranking of the number one volume Ford dealership in New Mexico for decades.
As part of its celebration, Rich Ford will partner with Albuquerque’s Animal Welfare Department (AWD) for an adoption event on March 16th, supporting the department’s mission to reduce pet overpopulation. AWD will waive adoption fees, provide essential services such as spaying/neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and a free initial vet visit, along with a day of complimentary basic dog training. And AWD will offer free customized dog tags onsite. This initiative aligns with Rich Ford’s dedication of its dog park, a passion project for General Manager Darin Wade.
March is full of events for the whole family, but it’s really the Ford line up that is the star! “March is the perfect time to check out the latest that Ford has to offer and as one of the Top Dealers in the country, Rich Ford typically gets a better selection of vehicles,” said Darin Wade, General Manager of Rich Ford.
The Ford F-150 is unmatched in the market. Ford recently announced 47 Years of Truck Leadership with the F-Series pickups! There’s NO Tough Like Built Ford Tough! It’s not luck. And it isn’t coincidence. Since 1977, F-150 and Super Duty have been the best-selling trucks for some very real and hardcore reasons: Rock-solid Durability. Up-to-the-nanosecond technology. And jaw-dropping capability. Leading the way for 47 straight years is grueling, intense and tough.
