Ford Sees Good Year For Autos
Ford Motor Co chairman Henry Ford II forecast a rebound in 1968 after a difficult year. He said U.S. auto sales would total about 8.5 million for 1967 with 785,000 imports and expect 1968 to reach around 9.3 million. He cited the costly 50 day strike as hurting sales and noted reduced capital spending next year.
