I’m not sure exactly what it is that’s so cool about old cars and trucks – the retro styling, the generous proportions or just a vintage vibe – but they always catch my eye and, as a Detroit native who now lives in LA, I’ve seen quite a few. One that I could actually afford and easily take care of is
Teleflora’s ’48 Ford Pickup Bouquet (above).
Teleflora teamed up with
Ford Motor Co. to pay tribute to 60 years of the
Ford Truck F-Series and came up with this super floral arrangement. It features carnations, roses and mums in a ceramic model of the
1948 Ford pickup truck complete with whitewall tires and hand-painted in the traditional Ford blue.
I can’t think of a better
Father’s Day gift! Besides, the thought of roaming the tie racks at a department store or calling my Mom for last-minute ideas is just not grabbing me.
Teleflora’s president Shawn Weidmann knows what I’m talking about. “Finding that perfect gift for dads can be tough, so we are making it easy for consumers to buy something their fathers will enjoy for many years to come,” he says. “Father’s Day is a time to honor dads for all their hard work and Ford trucks are known for being tough and dependable, so what better way to celebrate both than by bringing them together with the ’48 Ford Pickup Bouquet.”
John Nuns, director of global brand licensing for Ford, calls it an opportunity for consumers to drive home a special message for Father’s Day or any day to the Built Ford Tough men in their lives.
Flower Fact of the Day:
Henry Grant, the farmer who promoted the
bitterroot to be Montana’s state flower, is the subject of a historical retrospective in Missoula, Montana (aka Garden City because of its mild winters relative to the rest of Montana). To read more, visit:
