US sales for Ford (F) were off 9% from March of last year. Total vehicle sales were 264,975.
The company had two bright spots. Sales of the Crown Victoria were up 22% to just over 6,500. Sales of the Fusion rose 48% to almost 15,000.
But, sales of the company’s flagship F-series pick-up were off 15% to under 71,000. Sales of the Lincoln brand rose for the month.
Looking at Ford’s other premium brands, sales of Jaguar, Range Rover, and Volvo all fell. It once again begs the question of why they simply aren’t sold off to another company.
