“We are especially proud to have received this prestigious award from Ford for the 10th consecutive year,” said David Wright, president of Starcraft Bus. “We believe this award is a reflection of the dedication of our team members and dealers. Our team takes pride in the Starcraft brand and continues to build buses that provide safe, affordable transportation. Our dealers stand behind our product and continue to outperform the competition year after year. This award wouldn’t be possible without them.”
