Who are we? We are Waco

by Claire Kultgen

Who are we? We are Waco: A vibrant community with a bright future and a rich heritage. We are people who care about one another, from the young to the young at heart. 91-year-old former General Manager of Bird-Kultgen Ford, Charley Furrer, knows firsthand the importance of fortitude, commitment and a culture of tradition. First starting in July of 1946 as a mechanic’s assistant, Charley soon moved into the Parts Department, then Sales and on to General Manager. He aided in Bird-Kultgen’s move to a new location, oversaw growth and renovation and helped train the next generation of BK team members. He knows the importance of community involvement as a local business, and he has witnessed firsthand the widespread impact a positive business-community relationship can have.

Serving the Waco community allows Bird-Kultgen Ford to interact with a diverse network of folks from a wide range of backgrounds. To remain in business for over 86 years, Bird-Kultgen Ford has taken the time to learn from our customers and team members who have helped our business thrive. Bird-Kultgen employees ensure customers are always treated fairly. We continue to improve upon how we serve our customers, and we push ourselves to perform at the highest standards in order to flourish within Waco’s culture and community.

It’s dedicated team members and community members like Charley that help to raise Waco to new levels of progress, servitude and innovation. BK is proud of its history in Waco. Through four generations, Bird-Kultgen has been a staple of this community and we couldn’t be more thankful to call Waco our hometown. We are Bird-Kultgen Ford. We are Waco.
