Well heck, who do you know if Ford's stock price would have fallen further had they NOT sold off those turkeys?   Philco for sure, as I remember their T.V.'s were not that great and weren't they involved in that Sgt. York weapons system fiasco?  Ford did well buying New Holland in 1986, combining it with Ford Tractor, and selling the whole deal to Fiat in 1991.   We have beat the class 8 truck thing to death.  Yes, they were making a little money in that business but selling the line to Freightliner, even at a loss, was a sound move because it enabled Ford to convert KTP to produce the highly profitable Super Duty line.   JLR?  Seriously?  Ford should have NEVER bought that mess to begin with.  

Imagine a mid engine sports car made from giga castings and open box construction. Frim there, anything is possible

Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it!

That grille and headlight setup looks waaaaay too Camaro-y to me. 

The new paint shop is going into Kentucky Truck Plant, it’s hoped that this will free up both the Super Duty and Expedition/ Navigator line.

It has extremely low ceilings/doorways and can only build low cars not suvs or crossovers.

What was wrong with the old paint shop? Let's focus on engines, transmission and software deficiencies and recalls.

Every time Ford sold off a unit like Philco, Farm tractor, Class 8, JLR, the stock price went down!

The updated version (01/05/2025) of the 2025 Super Duty Chassis Cab Order Guide has been added to the Dealer Order Guides section. Thanks @abc26

I still occasionally see Escort stuff around here on some of the old-timer’s cabinets. A few Expedition and Navigator things as well. Always neat to see. I have a bag of pins a co-worker bestowed upon me when he retired from the 90s that are pretty neat.
