PARIS, France - Ford is joining forces with iconic TV show Wheeler Dealers France for an unprecedented partnership that's sure to make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster.
The company is providing two Ford Rangers – an Ice and a PHEV version - for the show that will be driven by presenter Gerry Blyenberg and his team.
To follow them on their mechanical adventures, Ford France also is supplying a Transit Custom, Puma and the all-electric Explorer.
Ford France president Louis-Carl Vignon said: “This collaboration illustrates a shared vision: bringing automotive passion to life while working towards a more environmentally friendly transition. At Ford, we're convinced that you can combine modernity and nostalgia: drive electric during the week and enjoy a youngtimer at the weekend.”
He added: “Mechanics are above all a story of encounters, transmission and sharing. With Gerry Blyenberg and his team, we want to spread this energy to all enthusiasts.”
This will be the 10th season of Wheeler Dealers France that follows car trader Gerry and mechanical expert Aurélien Letheux as they buy a classic car at the lowest possible price and work on it while keeping expenses to a minimum to ensure the highest possible profit on resale.
Wheeler Dealers France premiered on 10 October 2016 on RMC Découverte.
