Carlisle Events Welcomes Gateway Broncos to Ford Weekend

CARLISLE, Pa. - May 18, 2016 - PRLog -- Since 1995, over one million Ford enthusiasts have migrated to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds for what is now the world's LARGEST all-Ford-themed weekend. Ford branded vehicles of all eras are on display and the guests and vendors that come to Carlisle do so from around the globe. Carlisle consistently brings out ultra-rare Fords, but never before has there been a company who used Carlisle and Ford weekend as its launching pad for a new business. During the weekend of June 3-5, 2016, Gateway Broncos of St. Louis, Missouri comes to the Carlisle Ford Nationals to unveil its version of an American Icon, the first generation Ford Bronco.

Born from an American inventor and serial entrepreneur Seth Burgett, Gateway Broncos is leading the Bronco industry by delivering "survivor" Broncos with Ford's Coyote 302. Gateway Broncos is a true innovator of the classic Ford Bronco by producing trucks the way Henry Ford envisioned - on a production line. Gateway Broncos specializes in compassionately building barn find Broncos into Modern Day Warriors^TM. Under the hood is a new Coyote 302 engine directly from Ford. They offer three products, the Restomod 427 Fuelie^TM, Modern Day Warrior^TM and their specialty, the Coyote Edition Survivor^TM, ranging in price from $80,000 to $160,000 with bumper-to-bumper warranties up to an industry-leading five years. Gateway's low volume production line guarantees the quality of each truck, and an unprecedented two-month delivery schedule.

"After starting our first generation Bronco collection, it became clear that I had to spend my time and energy engineering these Broncos into something that everyone can enjoy. Once we made the decision to turn that passion into a company, I knew there was only one event to launch Gateway Broncos: it had to be the Ford Nationals at Carlisle," said Burgett, founder.

This isn't the first company founded by Burgett. In 2008, as an accomplished inventor and engineer, Burgett founded the sport headphones company, yurbuds. Named the "Forbes 9th Most Promising Company in America," by 2012 yurbuds had become the #1 Sport Headphone in the U.S. After selling his company in 2014, Burgett was able to turn his focus back to his first passion, '60s and '70s era Fords.

Burgett isn't just the CEO; he's as passionate about Fords as his clients. Now with the Carlisle Ford Nationals rapidly approaching, Burgett and his Bronco build-team will be on hand to host walk-arounds describing what makes Gateway Broncos so unique. They'll also be the presenting sponsor of the always-popular burnout competition as well as showing their Coyote Edition Survivor^TM trucks and two of the most spectacular barn finds from Burgett's private collection on the ever expanding Manufacturers Midway.

It all goes down starting at 7 a.m. on June 3 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Gate admission is $12 per adult, with kids 12 and under free. In addition, the National Parts Depot showfield is bulging at the seams with some 3,000 Fords spanning the history of the brand.
