Ford Autolite Spark Plug Deal Invalidated
The court ruled 7 to 0 that Ford violated antitrust law by taking over the Autolite spark plug business. It said the 1961 deal harmed competition in an oligopolistic market, though future merchandiser growth could restore balance by separating Ford from Autolite. Ford, then No. 2 auto maker, gained control of Electric Autolite Co. and the Ohio battery plant to capture spark plug share.
