Locomotive Breath: Ford F-250 Super Chief Chugs Into NAIAS
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=108828#2

Drawing inspiration from the big American Super Chief trains of the past,

did you know

To quote my late Great-Grandfather “It’s a pick-up truck, dummy.” [banghead]

Ugly truck, and I think there is nothing overly special about the Super Chief train, it is far over-rated along with its RR.

4

YIKES I think Fords has gone and list a few rail spikes That is nowhere near a good looking truck and Makes the Super Chief look bad.

OUCH

6

Plastic Brandy Tumblers?!! " Have I been drinking, officer? H*ll no I am DRINKING!!" Now don’t all rush out together to buy Ford stock at once! Yet another “marketing” faux paux?!!

I remember when the Pontiac Vibe first came out, they had a TV ad that talked about how you could make pina coladas in the car (there is an inverter on the Vibes). It didn’t last very long.

Interesting,

Ford already has a Mercury Zepher that was recently released, It’s sister is the Ford Fusion.

Now they are introducing a prototype called the F-250 Super Chief.

What else can we expect from Ford? A winning football team? [}:)]

Wasn’t the Super Chiefs originally cars??

As a AAA wrecker driver from Berea, KY said to me after looking at a spritzed up Chevy truck, with the small (useless) bed, custom cover, and the brake light cover cutouts:

“Whada they want: A truck or a car?”

I thought that pretty much summed up how ugly it was.

I’m glad they said it was paterned after the Super Cheif cause I never would have known by looking at it. (I’ll take a Hemi Ram Charger instead)

12

Nice gadgetts and the styling is not that bad, though a bit over the top.

Too much of a gas hog for me.

13

I wonder if they have to pay licensing fees for the name.
