Ford Doubles Profits for the Best Quarter in Its History
By NEAL E. BOUDETTE

Ford, the No. 2 American carmaker, on Thursday reported a record $2.5 billion in net income for the first three months of the year, an increase of 113 percent and more profit than in any other quarter in its 112-year history.

In North America, Ford’s operating profit doubled to $3.1 billion. It produced fewer vehicles on the continent than General Motors, but made about $800 million more in profit than its crosstown rival.

“The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year for us,” Ford’s chief executive, Mark Fields, said in a conference call.

Of course they are.  They're playing with house money.  Without Obama playing nice they'd be fucked

I prefer a 69 Boss 429. Think I'll get one soon.

Didn't know about this particular model.
Great looking car but very rare according to Wikipedia.

Didn't get much more American than Budweiser and they're no longer an American company.

Yeah, but it's still made in America by union workers earning a good wage. 

Good jobs with low barriers of entry are what will turn this country around ... free trade agreements ship those jobs to other countries to the benefit of executives & shareholders
