Ford Scores Historic Canadian Sales Increase

Despite the billions of dollars of tax payer's money that has been shovelled into GM and Chrysler by the US and Canada, sales continue to drop. Apparently no one wants to buy a car or truck from a bankrupt company. Who'da thunk that?

Not so at Ford. The company has received no bailout money (so far) and has been rewarded by car buyers. Ford has climbed to the top of the Canadian monthly market in June for the first time in 60 years.

Update: Another historic Ford connection is the passing on Monday of Robert McNamara. McNamara was President of Ford and then Secretary of Defense for Kennedy and Johnson during the Viet Nam years.
