Ford Motor Co. June Sales Down 28%, F-Series Plunges 45%
Ford Motor Company’s downfall this year doesn’t seem to end. In June, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury June sales totalled 167,090 vehicles, down 28% versus a year ago while the first half sales totalled 1.1 million units, down 14 percent compared to the same period in 2007.

The once almighty F-Series saw its June sales plunge 40.5% compared to June 2007 (38,789 vs 65,156).
