They will. They are called 'mannequins' and they are dealer stock they can't sell for XX amount of days. Even though all Lightnings are sold for years, many dealers got one mannequin for test drive purposes.

Ford and their dealers are at war with each other. Dealers with insane mark ups have caused Ford to sell less vehicles than they could have, dropping stock prices, etc.
