Ford Employee Sculpts Life-Size Bronco in Snow
I grew up in Indiana, and I remember blizzards with snowdrifts several feet up. My sister and put on our heavy coats and boots and made armies of sloppy snowmen; once we even made an igloo. But we never produced anything close to the full-size Ford Bronco that Jacob DiMaria sculpted in the Detroit area last week.
The Mitten State gets its share of frozen precipitation, and Ford NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) technologist DiMaria has created somewhat of an annual tradition with his Ford-related snow sculptures. A couple of years ago, he started with a replica of the Michigan Central Station, which is in the heart of a walkable mobility innovation district in Detroit’s oldest neighborhood. Last winter, he went bigger with a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible in his front yard. This year, the red-hot Bronco got a nod with a built-to-scale snow model.
