Hawkeyes Love Ford!!

Our third stop on our Ford Driving Across America tour brought us to the University of Iowa. Ford motor vehicles lined up Kinnick Stadium as thousands of Iowa students came to the festivities. But we lead off the event with a surprise for the students as Iowa alumni, Shonn Greene and Ashton Kutcher pulled up to the event in style in their new 2012 Ford Expeditions!!

Shonn Greene and Ashton Kutcher kicked the event off with speeches about Iowa pride and the great work Ford Motor Company is doing.

"I'm a big fan of the Expedition, its big roomie and can fit me and the whole team." Greene said "I know it can even fit Rex (Ryan) in comfortably."

"I have a big family and I know im always driving them around I need the space and the expedition provides thats." Kutcher said " No doubt in my mind Ford picked the best university for this event."

Oscar Mayer handed out free hot dogs and t shirts to the first 4,000 people to attend. The Expedition was the car of the day as Ford sold over 100 Expedtions.

The 2012 Expedition includes independent rear suspension, power row 3rd row seating,  standard seating for eight, standard safety canopy system and the new voice activated Ford Sync.

The Expedition is priced at $37,995 but just like the students at the University of Iowa you get the Ford Driving Across America Price of $36,500. That is a savings of $1,495!!!

Next week our tour brings us to downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The event begins at 12pm runs to 5pm. Mayor Jim Suttle will be in attendance and a surprise will be here to drop in from outer space.
