What kind of Ford?

So, I was shopping online and was drilling down to select my car. Imagine my surprise since I am from Louisville to run upon the page below.

Hint: Again, I am from Louisville, KY.

Is there such a thing?

Same here. All I saw was an oil ad. Did a google search and saw "Ford Louisville" listed as a big honking truck like used in moving trucks, water trucks, etc. Cool.

Oh, duh.
It is pulling my vehicle from a cookie.
I should have known.

As Jake says, select 84, then Ford.
Look at the selection of vehicles that you can select.

Yep, you got it Mike. I had never heard of them, although I know of the Louisville plant for my uncle worked there and I have family about a mile from it. They are huge trucks. A couple of links to examples...

Strange name for a truck, but...

Simple.

O'Reilly's has a website, even if it is beta.
Parts Warehouse does not.

I like shopping with no help from anyone else on things like ordering options (I never knew a brake booster came loaded or not, never bought one before), availability, price range, appearance, etc.

I also visited Autozone, Advance Auto, and NAPA. Car quest has a website, but it is not what I need.

Sorry, I wasn't clear - my point was "anyone BUT O'Reilly" - if they think we're foolish enough to pay a 300% markup, then they're not getting any of my business.

Oh, Mike, I agree. I just shop. I research as much as I can, no matter where it comes from. I want to know that I understand my options and warranties, and all those things. Then I can go and plop money down.

It does give me a chuckle when I see their prices. I guess it is like being curious at a car wreck.
