About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Rivertown Ford, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A regular would arrive with his young son, who always seemed to freeze in place when walking past one particular vintage truck. The kid would stare wide-eyed, pointing and whispering ‘Daddy, look!’ Finally, someone asked the father what was so special about that truck. With a sheepish grin, he admitted it was just an old jalopy they used for deliveries. Turned out, every time the kid saw it, he thought it was Santa’s sleigh—complete with reindeer headlights!

2. At Rivertown Ford, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does my truck always start singing old folk songs when I leave work here?’ It turned out that an old mechanic had installed a vintage radio in one of the trucks as a prank. Now, whenever anyone drove off, they’d hear nothing but folk ballads from the ’70s. The delivery driver ended up loving it—said it helped him sing along and stay positive during his deliveries.

3. At Rivertown Ford, every morning around sunrise, employees would hear faint laughter coming from the empty showroom. No one else seemed to notice it but them. One day, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone heard that laugh before. Turns out, his donut box had a tiny speaker playing old radio jokes. Since then, everyone brought their own funny recordings, and Rivertown Ford became known for its morning comedy sessions.

4. At Rivertown Ford, employees began noticing strange messages on windshields of parked cars. Each note read simply: 'Your next ride might surprise you.' One day, a delivery driver found a note that said, ‘Your next ride is a convertible!’ Lo and behold, when he started his truck, the roof had mysteriously vanished. Needless to say, he was both surprised and slightly embarrassed as he drove through town with everyone watching him wave goodbye to his hat.’
