Ford of Canada Truck Sales Up 3%

Led by Ford F-Series, truck sales momentum continues into November

OAKVILLE, Ontario, December 3, 2007 – November proved to be another winning month for Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, where truck sales increased three per cent. Not to be outdone, Ford cars also saw a rise in sales in November – namely the newly redesigned Ford Focus and Ford Taurus.

November Highlights:

* Ford F-Series sales up 4%
* Ford Focus sales increase 6%
* Ford Taurus sales rise 14% in November
* Ford Ranger sales increase 33% and achieve best November on record
* Ford SUV sales are up 11%

"Our showrooms are bustling with pre-holiday traffic," said Bill Osborne, president and CEO, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. "The 'Get in and Drive' year-end clearance has given Canadians even more reason to take a second look at the great products Ford has to offer. From the bold new look of the 2008 Ford Focus, to the enduring Ford Ranger and the reliable Ford F-Series work-horse, Ford of Canada provides vehicles to suit any need."

Last month, Ford of Canada's overall sales decreased 8.3 per cent to 15,971 units. Total truck sales were up 2.7 per cent at 12,039 units and total car sales of 3,932 units mark a 30.9 per cent decline compared to last November. This shift in car sales volume is partially due to a planned reduction in fleet sales.
