About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dead of night, when Amarillo streets fall silent, a regular would pull up to Gene Messer Ford. The moonlight glinted off the showroom windows, but inside, something strange happened every Thursday. A delivery driver would leave a box on the counter, never saying a word. Inside, the box contained an old tin can filled with homemade cookies. Each Thursday, the regular would take them home and share with his neighbors, who’d shrug and say, ‘Gene Messer must be trying to sweeten our dealership.’
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gene Messer Ford and noticed something unusual in the loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient map and a note reading ‘Follow the stars.’ Following the stars, he ended up at a local diner, where an elderly gentleman overheard his story. The old man smiled and said, 'Son, those aren't stars—those are just streetlights.' Everyone laughed, including our intrepid delivery guy, who realized he'd been following the neon sign for the drive-thru all along.
3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gene Messer Ford and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the showroom. Nobody else seemed to hear it. Curious, he crept closer and saw a small old man in overalls, polishing a vintage Ford model with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s my granddaddy’s car,’ whispered the ghostly figure. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an enthusiastic neighbor helping out. ‘Guess I’ll leave you two to your vintage magic!’
4. One stormy night, a delivery driver pulled into Gene Messer Ford with headlights dimmed low. As he approached the showroom, he swore he saw an old pickup truck driving itself down the empty street. Curious, the driver followed it inside the lot and watched as the truck parked itself neatly next to the showroom. Turning around, he found no one in sight—just the truck’s headlights glowing softly. Smiling, he thought maybe it was just an old prank from some local kid. Until his phone buzzed: ‘Seen your truck? Wanna buy it?’
