October was the seventh month in a row of higher Ford sales to individual retail customers. This October, over 50 percent of our retail car sales were 1999 models. That is much higher than last October's mix of new models, which was 34 percent.
August was another sensational month for Ford and the industry.
Despite difficult weather conditions up and down the East Coast, Ford and industry sales remained strong in January. With consumer confidence at all-time highs, and a record-setting economic expansion, we believe 2000 is shaping up to be another very good year.
