Alan,
thanks for saving our automobile industry,and bringin my Ford Corporate bond home during last Octobers critical time.
Have to wish though that you were at the top spot at The Boeing Company, a spot you deserved. 787 would now be flying and my investment sound.
Wishing you even more success,
Rolf Sellge (717- Retired but still active in the biz)

why is so much debt required to be in the automotive business? surely the strategy of operating on a cash basis is smarter than paying fees for borrowing on credit. I’m glad Ford survived the immediate crisis. However, there would be a greater ROI if they just bit the bullet, survived these hard times paying off all debts, and emerged as a debt free corporation. How about those are bragging rights?

Thank You, Ford… I always knew you could do it!! Defy the goverment and succeed on your own as an American free enterprize company, not as a govermental puppet as GM has become. I own a fleet of about 50 veihicles, sorry to say 90 percent GM, No more. I’ve decided to change directions and move forward with you thru atrition. You caught my eye back in the Bill Ford days that coarse of change really helped the direct appeal of your products, a big gamble I was glad to see pay off. In the 70’s I was a Ford man, 69 Mach 1, 69 Torino GT, 2 wounderful cars to grow up driving and working on, I loved it. I got derailed working at a Buick, Pontiac, and GMC dealer, then never looked back. The 74′ Mustang did it, all hope was lost. Moving forward the Fusion, Transit, Taurus, and Flex have a bright future here at B&C Communications.
