It’s Father’s Day!
Father’s Day at Carriage Ford: Celebrating the Cars Dads Love to Drive
This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the everyday heroes. The dads who show up, fix what’s broken, fire up the grill, and always know the best way to get somewhere. At Carriage Ford, we believe a good vehicle isn’t just a way to get around. It’s part of the American dream. And for generations, Ford has helped dads chase that dream with strength, style, and plenty of horsepower.
Here are some of the vehicles dads love to drive, not just because they’re practical, but because they’re fun too.
F-150
The F-150 is strong, reliable, and built for hard work. Whether Dad is hauling a trailer, heading to the lake, or making a quick trip to the hardware store, the F-150 gets it done. It’s tough, trusted, and ready for anything.
Mustang
The Mustang is all about power and freedom. If your dad talks about the car he had growing up, there’s a good chance it was a Mustang. Today’s Mustang still brings the thrill, with bold style and modern tech that keeps the fun going.
Explorer
The Explorer is perfect for the dad who does it all. It’s roomy, safe, and ready for any road. Whether he’s coaching the team, loading up for a trip, or just running errands, the Explorer is built to keep up with busy family life.
Maverick
The Maverick is for the dad who likes smart design and a good challenge. It’s compact but capable, efficient but ready to haul. With a hybrid engine and a flexible truck bed, it’s built for work, play, and everything in between.
Take a Test Drive with Dad
This Father’s Day, skip the usual gifts. Bring Dad to Carriage Ford and let him test drive something that’s made to move him. Whether it’s a truck, car, or SUV, we’ve got the Ford he’ll love.
At Carriage Ford, we don’t just sell vehicles. We celebrate the people who drive them. That’s why we’re proud to be the Best by a Country Mile.
Stop in, take a spin, and give Dad a ride he won’t forget.
We Remember
Honoring the Brave: A Memorial Day Tribute from Carriage Ford
At Carriage Ford, Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend or the unofficial start of summer, it is a solemn and powerful reminder of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is a time to pause, reflect, and honor those who gave their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms we hold dear every day.
We are proud to be an American dealership, one that understands freedom does not come free. It is paid for by the courage and selflessness of those who served in uniform and never came home. This Memorial Day, we stand in deep gratitude for every fallen hero who wore our nation’s flag and answered the call of duty with honor.
Many of us here at Carriage Ford have veterans in our families. Some of us have lost loved ones in service. Their memory lives on in our hearts, and their sacrifice strengthens our resolve to support military families and honor the legacy of those who served. Whether you have experienced that loss personally or are simply taking time to remember, Memorial Day brings us together as one nation, one community, united in appreciation.
As a dealership that sells American-made vehicles, we are proud to support jobs right here at home, including those at the Ford Motor Company plants in Louisville and throughout Southern Indiana. But our pride runs deeper than just the vehicles we sell, it is rooted in community, country, and commitment. That same spirit of service and dedication that defines our armed forces inspires us to serve our customers with integrity and respect every single day.
This Memorial Day, we invite you to join us in a moment of silence. Visit a local memorial. Place a flag in honor of someone who served. Share a story about a hero in your life. And most importantly, let us remember why this day exists, not just to celebrate, but to commemorate.
From all of us at Carriage Ford, we honor your service. We remember your sacrifice. And we carry your legacy forward, with pride, with purpose, and with profound gratitude.
Sincerely,
Marty Book on behalf of Carriage Ford

For the Moms Who Do it All!
For the Moms Who Do It All, And Drive It All
May is the month we celebrate the real MVPs, MOMs. And here at Carriage Ford, we’ve had a front-row seat to just how much moms do, day in and day out. From early morning drop-offs to late-night grocery runs, family road trips to weekend ballgames, moms are always on the move. And for decades, they’ve been trusting Ford vehicles to get them there safely, comfortably, and in style.
So, this Mother’s Day, we want to shine a light on some of the best Ford vehicles for moms, whether you’ve got a car full of kids, a tight schedule, or just need something that works as hard as you do.
Ford Explorer: The Ultimate Mom-Mobile
If you’re hauling kids, backpacks, sports gear, and snacks (always snacks), the Ford Explorer is ready. With room for up to seven, tons of cargo space, and smart safety features like blind-spot alerts and lane-keeping assist, the Explorer is a dependable co-pilot for busy moms on the go.
Ford Edge: For the Stylish, No-Nonsense Mom
The Edge has a sleek design and a smooth, quiet ride. It’s perfect if you’re juggling work and family and want something that feels a little more “you.” It’s packed with tech, easy to park, and just the right size for everyday life.
Ford Escape: Small SUV, Big Personality
Need something compact, efficient, but still ready for action? The Escape has you covered. It’s got great gas mileage (especially the hybrid), a comfy interior, and enough room to handle whatever the day throws at you…without feeling like you’re driving a tank.
Ford F-150: Because Moms Drive Trucks, Too
Who says trucks are just for the guys? The Ford F-150 is tough, smart, and surprisingly refined. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or just want to feel like you own the road, this truck has your back.
Why Moms Keep Coming Back to Carriage Ford
We’ve been around a long time, and some of our favorite customers over the years have been moms. We’ve seen young moms buying their first SUV… and now we’re seeing their kids come in to buy their own. That kind of loyalty means everything to us.
We know what moms need in a vehicle, safety, comfort, performance, and peace of mind. And we’re proud to be a part of that journey.
So this May, we just want to say thanks. Thanks for everything you do. Thanks for trusting us. And most of all, Happy Mother’s Day.
From all of us at Carriage Ford: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re here when you’re ready for that next ride.

Carriage Ford Celebrates the Kentucky Derby: A Tradition of Horsepower.
As the first Saturday in May approaches, the excitement in Kentuckiana is palpable. The Kentucky Derby, known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” is more than just a horse race; it’s a celebration of tradition, community, and the enduring spirit of competition. At Carriage Ford, we’re proud to be part of this rich tapestry, sharing in the heritage that makes our region unique.
Ford and the Kentucky Derby: A Partnership Rooted in Heritage.
Ford Motor Company, with deep roots in Kentucky, has been a proud partner of the Kentucky Derby since 2020. This collaboration is a natural fit, uniting two icons that embody American strength and resilience. Ford’s commitment to excellence mirrors the dedication seen in every thoroughbred and jockey that takes to the track at Churchill Downs.
The partnership extends beyond mere sponsorship. Ford’s vehicles, such as the F-150 and the Bronco, symbolize the same power and endurance that define the Derby’s champions. It’s a celebration of horsepower in all its forms.
Carriage Ford: Serving the Heart of Derby Country.
Located in Clarksville, Indiana, Carriage Ford is proud to serve the Kentuckiana community. We understand the significance of the Derby to our customers and neighbors. It’s a time when families gather, traditions are honored, and the spirit of competition brings us together.
Our dealership embodies the same values that make The Derby special: commitment, integrity, and a passion for excellence. Whether you’re attending the races or celebrating from home, Carriage Ford is here to support your journey.

Ford Employee Pricing – For You
Ford Employee Pricing for Everyone? You Better Believe It.
Here at Carriage Ford, we’ve always believed in doing things the right way—the Kentuckiana way. That means hard work, straight talk, and taking care of our community. So, when we say we’re offering Ford Employee Pricing for Everyone, we mean it. No gimmicks. No hoops. Just real savings for real people.
What Is Employee Pricing, Anyway?
Employee Pricing is exactly what it sounds like: the price Ford employees pay for a new vehicle. Now, it’s available to YOU. That’s the inside deal, the bottom-line cost, with no markup. Normally, these prices are reserved only for folks who work at Ford or have close family connections. But right now, for a limited time, everyone gets the employee discount.
That means big savings on trucks, SUVs, and cars you already know and love – like the F-150, Explorer, Escape, and more. Whether you’re hauling tools, hauling kids, or just looking to upgrade your ride, Employee Pricing puts you in the driver’s seat for less.
Why Are We Doing This?
Because times are tough and we get it. Families across our region are watching every dollar. But here in Southern Indiana, we take care of each other. Our friends, neighbors, and customers work hard every day, including many right down the road at the Ford plants. And when we say, “Built Ford Tough,” we’re talking about people we know personally.
That’s why we’re proud to extend this exclusive pricing to everyone, because you deserve a break. And when you shop locally at Carriage Ford, you’re not just getting a vehicle, you’re joining a family.
How to Take Advantage of Employee Pricing
It’s simple. Stop by Carriage Ford in Clarksville or visit us online at CarriageFord.com. Browse our inventory, get your questions answered, and work with a team that’s here to help, not pressure.
Want to trade in your current ride? We’ll give you top dollar. Need financing options? We’ve got flexible plans to fit your budget. Our goal is to get you into a new Ford that fits your life without breaking the bank.

Choosing the Right FORD for Your Family
Choosing the right vehicle for your family is more than just picking a car that looks good. It’s about finding a safe, reliable, and comfortable ride that fits your lifestyle—and at Carriage Ford, we know that Ford delivers all that and more. Whether you’re hauling kids to school, heading out on a weekend road trip, or just need extra space for groceries and gear, there’s a Ford that’s built for you. Here’s how to find the one that fits your family best.
1. Consider Your Family Size and Space Needs
Start by thinking about how many people will be riding with you regularly. Do you need seating for five, or are you carting around a bigger crew? The Ford Explorer or Expedition are great options for larger families, offering third-row seating and generous cargo space. If you’re a smaller family but still want room to stretch out, the Ford Edge or Escape might be a better fit.
Also think about storage. If you’re frequently lugging sports equipment, strollers, or luggage, make sure to check out cargo space and options for folding seats.
2. Safety Comes First
Ford is known for its commitment to safety, and many of their vehicles come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™, a suite of driver-assist features. This includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and rearview cameras—perfect for busy families with precious cargo on board.
When comparing models, look for safety ratings and available advanced features like adaptive cruise control and hands-free parking assist to give you peace of mind on the road.
3. Think About Your Daily Drive
Your typical day-to-day use should guide your choice. If your commute includes a lot of highway miles, a fuel-efficient option like the Bronco Sport might be ideal. If you’re frequently navigating city streets or tight parking lots, a more compact SUV like the Ford Escape Hybrid could be your go-to.
On the flip side, if your weekends include towing campers, boats, or trailers, you might want to consider the Ford F-150. It’s tough, versatile, and packed with family-friendly tech.
4. Don’t Overlook Comfort and Technology
Long drives with kids can be a challenge, but Ford’s tech features can help. Available options like built-in Wi-Fi, rear-seat entertainment systems, wireless charging, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration make it easy to keep everyone connected and entertained.
Heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and extra legroom also go a long way in making every ride more enjoyable for the whole family.
5. Visit Carriage Ford and Take a Test Drive
The best way to find the perfect Ford for your family is to see them in person. At Carriage Ford, our team is here to walk you through your options, answer your questions, and set you up with a test drive. We’ll help you find the right balance of space, performance, and budget—so you can drive away confident and excited for what’s ahead.
