Hey boss2012, if you don't mind me asking, how do you know that the Yellow Blaze is going away?
I have access to the commodity letters put out weekly by Ford and this weeks commodity letter called for balance out for Yellow Blaze Mustang orders with a date of July 21. This means as long as the car has a VIN assigned by today then it will get built after that probably won't happen.
So are you saying (or Ford saying) if we've ordered a Yellow Blaze and it hasn't gotten a VIN yet the color is no longer going to happen? If this is the case, don't you think Ford should contact dealerships to tell those who have ordered that color to pick something else?
Do you have a link or anything that confirms this?
This is NOT the news I wanted to hear......I've already been waiting since 2-14-11 and delt with several headaches with the order/changes since then.
I'm not sure of another way to do this so i pasted the mustang section of the commodity letter. and i can tell you that I did get a call from my Ford rep to pull the yellow blaze order we had for the 4th quarter to yesterday so it could be pulled for build. i would hope that all dealers with a ylellow blaze order received the same call. but they may have needed to have an avalailable allocation to build in order for this to happen. not sure how every dealer handled it. just what happened to me.
