Top Ten Ford Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is fast approaching, have you thought of a nice gift for dad yet? Sure, helping him fix his because that would be nice, but how about giving him something new?

If your dad is a Ford fan, he’ll love what Ford has in store for him on his special day. Of course, you’ll be the one to really go out of your way to get him one of these items, but Father’s Day comes only once a year, so why not make it special? Your father certainly deserves the gift.

Here are ten tips for dads from The Ford Collection (www.fordcollection.com):

Keep it safe: Show Dad you care by buying him a Ford Roadside Emergency Bag. The $75 Ford-branded carry case contains a flashlight, jumper cables, a mini air compressor, an emergency tire inflator, two bungee cords, pliers, screwdrivers, shop towels, gloves, a poncho for the rain and a 38-piece first aid kit. There’s even a roll of duct tape. (And dad knows full well that duct tape is the solution to any problem, automotive or otherwise.)

Let Him Rock: He sent you to school so help him get into rock school with a new Ford guitar. This Fender® Sonoran acoustic model offers classic unplugged sound with a sleek blue finish and Ford lettering. The six-string is $350 and features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, Venetian cutaway, and Stratocaster headstock. Cheer up, dad.

Decorate His Den: A treasure trove of poster-ready images telling the Ford story can be found online at Ford ArteHouse through The Ford Collection. From racing heroes to concept cars, from Mustangs to Thunderbirds, it’s all there. Prices start at $17.99 and the frame is available. Photos of the new Ford Shelby GT500KR are hard to ignore. The car goes on sale next year, but the posters are available today.

Empower Him: What dad really needs to get his engine running this Father’s Day is a new engine. Specifically, a 514-cubic-inch, 625-horsepower Ford Racing Performance crate engine. For $8,100, this monster V-8 will show up at your door. Some assembly and installation is required so be sure to visit http://www.fordracingparts.com before purchasing.

Help him be on time: a wristwatch is a sure bet as a gift. The new Cobra leather strap watch is a favorite among the many distinctive timepieces available through The Ford Collection. Priced at $85, the stylish men’s watch features a genuine leather strap and Cobra logo. Delivered in a stainless steel case, it includes luminous hands, a date function, and is water resistant to 100 feet.

Make him feel like a kid again: Truth be told, it won’t fit in. But still, Dad can appreciate the timeless appeal of a great go-kart. This year, he considers a classic ’32 Ford. With prices starting at $249, there are six models of pedal cars, including a flame-painted hot rod. The official 75th Anniversary ’32 Ford Roadster is a great choice and benefits a good cause. For every anniversary model sold, pedal car maker Warehouse 36 will donate $10 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.

Make Him Feel Like a Kid Again Version 2.0: Dozens of die-cast models are available through The Ford Collection, spanning the entire history of Ford Motor Company. Models include a 1913 Ford Model T, a classic Ford F1 truck, and even a 2006 Ford Fusion. Limited edition is the way to go when your heritage hangs in the balance, so consider Franklin’s die-cast Ford Shelby GT500 Mint. Only 5,000 will be produced, making it even rarer than the original. And prices start at $120, well below the production version.

Fix His Drive: New to The Ford Collection this year is a custom Nike-branded driver featuring the Ford Blue Oval logo on the grip, an ideal gift for dads who drive crazy. The large head driver offers high torsion resistance and the thin titanium face provides high forgiveness. He slips perfectly into any golf bag for just $239.

Beat Him at Pool: Dad loves his rec room, and he’ll love it even more with a new pool table handcrafted by Olhausen®, America’s leading manufacturer of professional-quality pool tables. The made-to-order tables are made in a traditional wood style of matte mahogany or distressed matte cherry. Each table features exclusive brass Ford ovals inlaid into the side rails and custom carved Ford Script into the table frame. Mustang-themed tables are also offered. Prices start at $3,700.

Keep him warm: The Ford Collection offers a coat closet full of jackets and fleeces, but chances are his dad is Ford Tough and he should be dressed accordingly. Priced at $95, the Built Ford Tough Cheyenne Dri Duck® Jacket is a classic washed canvas work jacket that provides maximum warmth and durability. The hooded jacket will stand up to whatever dad throws at it, thanks to triple-knit seams, a heavy-duty metal zipper, and rib-knit cuffs.

The Ford Collection launched in 1997 and now includes more than 750 exclusive items from the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands. In total, Ford Motor Company manages one of the largest licensing operations in the world, with more than 300 unique licensees.
