At Freeport Ford, we are passionate about being an active part of our community, and this year’s Northwest Illinois Airshow, held on September 21st, 2024, at Albertus Airport in Freeport, IL, was the perfect opportunity to showcase our commitment to both.

Honoring Our Veterans: A Special Moment
One of the highlights of the event was the honor of driving, Bill Hunter a 101-year-old WWII Navy Veteran, in our 2-Door Ford Bronco.
