TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It came down to the last day of the Ford fiscal year, but Goliath eventually defeated David to deny Brandon Ford of Tampa, Florida, the top spot as the number one volume Ford sales dealer of the year.
Extending its streak to 29 years, Los Angeles-based Galpin Ford made a late push to raise its sales numbers above the sales numbers of Brandon Ford to once again take the top spot.
Saying the competition came down to the wire is an understatement, however, as Brandon Ford was up by 575 units going into the last day of the Ford fiscal year. In an astonishing turn of events, Galpin Ford was able to make a substantial sales push and finish the year 161 units ahead of Brandon Ford.
Despite coming up a little short in the race to be Ford's number one volume sales dealer for 2018, Brandon Ford still had a record-breaking year by selling over 7,000 new vehicles. And the dealership achieved this amazing feat while being located in a city with a population of about 385,000. Los Angeles, for comparison, has a population of about 4 million.
Both Brandon Ford and Galpin Ford took to social media to share congratulatory messages and express enjoyment in the close 2018 competition, while also preparing to continue the friendly rivalry in 2019.
"I don't know if they've ever had a run like that," said Tom Murray, Brandon Ford's marketing manager. "We're going to after them again for 2019."
