Ford Corporate did not send any advertising out for the Maverick, to the dealers.
The dealers were Instructed to not advertise the Maverick's.

The Thumb screw made me Laugh. :'P
This may be an example of reverse psychology, if true...and seems possible to me.

My thought as to their sales tactic is "The best way to not keep a secret is by trying to keep our Mavericks a secret"!

I hope those thumbs of yours heal up...you need them if you use a cell phone! ;-)

Have a good one,

Andy

Here in Northeast.Ohio there's Ford commercials of a Guy his Wife and Daughter, Him with a Full Size Bronco and Maverick Hybrid,His Daughter with a Bronco Sport and His Wife with an F-150. The Guy also does quick interviews with a Lady with a Hybrid Maverick and a Guy with an F-150 and a Lady with an Explorer ST.

Henry Ford relied on word-of-mouth for the Model T. He never spent a dime on adverts for that particular car. And one other interesting fact: beginning in 1915 (I think that's when production had really ramped up, might be 1916), a worker on the assembly line could buy a Model T with four months salary. That is pretty amazing.

Y'all watch commercials? I stream almost everything just to avoid them. I pay extra to avoid them. If I get stuck with them, they are usually a drug I should ask my doctor about, then we laugh about it.

I first heard about the Maverick on another website called "The Ranger Station" which I also belong to and don't get on there much anymore and it was the only way that I heard about the Maverick and never heard about it on the radio or saw a commercial for it on tv.

Outdated practice.
Social Media is the answer now

Yeah, but don't take it if you are allergic to it!

In the late '20s, luxury manufacturers were designing and implementing V-12 engines.

Cadillac quietly encouraged the rumors that it was doing the same--so that it could sandbag them with the V-16 that it was actually developing!

(a couple of years later, they added a V-12, too)

And one other interesting fact: beginning in 1915 (I think that's when production had really ramped up, might be 1916), a worker on the assembly line could buy a Model T with four months salary.
That wasn't the reason for the wage increase, though. While it's true that ford doubled the going $5 a day wage, it wasn't so that workers could afford to buy one. Rather, turnover was 400%/year in the industry. At $10/day, a worker couldn't Mae the same elsewhere, and stuck around more than ther three month average, giving Ford the most experienced work force.

Yessir and they are always a drug you don’t need and the side effects are terminal.
Once you’re no longer working and paying taxes it’s big pharma’s job to get you dead and out of the picture.

Warning ! The Surgeon General has determind that smoking can cause cancer.

Should read take pharmaceutical’s and you’ll die.
Or the one they say very fast at the end at a reduced volume, “can cause liver failure”

Exactly. That is the stupidest thing I ever heard. It's like, no shit. But this being the USA you can bet it's there because someone who was allergic to it took it and then said, no one warned me.
