Ford Motor Company U.S. Sales Down 2 Percent To 187,000 Vehicles In November 2014: By The Numbers

U.S. Ford and Lincoln dealers delivered 187,000 vehicles in November 2014, down 2 percent compared to November 2013. The overall sales decline was anticipated, according to Ford, as it “manages its inventory levels as vehicle availability starts growing” for the all-new Ford Mustang, 2015 F-150 and Transit models.

“Our all-new Mustang is moving quickly off dealer lots,” said John Felice, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Mustang had its best November sales in eight years and is turning in just eight days on dealer lots, on average. Escape saw record sales for November, while Lincoln sales continue gaining momentum, with the brand posting its best sales since 2007.”
