Telstar, Cortina, Escort are but some of the Ford car models that once roamed this planet. Bring in the big boy’s trucks—Bronco and F150. And then the muscle cars—Mustang, Falcon, Fairmont and GT.
Catch these vintage Ford models at the Damosa Market Basket parking complex on display from April 12-13 in celebration of Damosa’s 65th anniversary.
The Ford dealership in Mindanao was initiated by Davao Motor Sales (Damosa) in the early 1940s through the late Don Antonio Floirendo who was credited for “putting Mindanao on wheels.”
The Ford dealership led to the establishment of Damosa on April 14, 1948.
The glory years of Ford went on until a downtrend of the automobile industry led to its foldup in the 1980s. Ford then bid goodbye although it made a return to the country and eventually in Davao (with the establishment of Ford Davao in June 6, 2001).
Before the new Ford models Fiesta, Expedition, Explorer, Ranger roamed our wider highways, there were once the vintage Fords and Damosa is taking us back down memory lane.
