UPDATE 10/22-10/23

RisingForce, can you please add a disclaimer to these posts so people stop jumping to conclusions? Put in first post that this is a weekly report and that all materials are scheduled on a weekly basis.

So what are you saying? Is it true that Ford is done with 50th Anniversary Appearance Packages for the entire model year?

I'm well aware of what this report is and what it means. My question was due to the fact that the way it's worded, it sounds as though Ford is telling the dealers that no more 50th appearance packages are allowed to be ordered. I guess that is not the case because you can still build and price the car with this package on Ford.com.

That last part doesn't necessarily mean anything -- the 2014 Configurator was still live long after they stopped taking any new orders for 2014's.

I don't think this is the case. The commodity reports change weekly.

Yea, it just means they don't have any more for that week. They can only store so many of a part on the assembly line to manufacture during the week. They have to have a good blend of various cars and options going, otherwise you'd be screwed if you ordered the 20 inch wheels and they weren't going to build cars with 20's until like April of next year. They are coordinating thousands of parts from all over the world into a single assembly plant, there's bound to be some constraints somewhere.

Those reports are on a week by week basis, simply stating what will and will not be in-stock that particular week. Just because it's out of stock, doesn't mean you won't get scheduled. You may be part of the crowd that got lucky and got allocated parts.

Ok. Well, we'll see how this goes.

Curious, has anyone received a car with a spare tire yet? Is that the hold-up on yours :shrug:
