Last one is built and the Taurus production is over. This is from an assembly line worker at the Hegewisch plant.

I thanked your post not for providing the verification that our beloved cars are now yet a memory, but entirely so for all those employees that have provided us WITH MEMORIES.

Thank you to all involved in this project.

From those previous GEN owners that motivated FMC to "Bring Back The SHO", to the engineers, the marketing, the assembly line workers, etc.

It's been a wonderful, 9 year run of an outstanding product line.

Seems the future, as Hackett sees it, is uncertain and yet to be communicated to the average consumer/investor. Frustrating to say the least.

I think axing the entire car market is incredibly shortsighted at best.

But alas, I digress.

Love the picture of the hood with signatures. So sad. But yet proud once again of all those involved all these years.

Thank you to all!

Hopefully this halts their rapid depreciation...maybe even flip it and add some value.  Wishful thinking.  This is the fastest car I've ever owned.  Now that its no longer in production I'm happy I have a 2010 that represents the first year of the SHO comeback.  I don't know what will happen with value and its not for resale really as I'm not willing to part with it for quite some time.  But an increase in value would make me happier with the investment thus far and in the future as the new mods are slowly increasing.  Who knows what the future holds but I'm definitely along for the ride and enjoying it 😎
