| These are just some of the questions that a Salesman for Ford Motor
Company has to answer to become "certified" to sell the Thunderbird.
In the instructions it says that the exam is "personalized for you" which
means that there is probably a larger database of questions and each test
is different for each salesman that takes the Thunderbird exam. There
are 25 questions below. If you have come across another "certification"
