Ford Motor Company's November U.S. sales of 190,449 vehicles are up 7 percent
overall compared with last year. Retail sales are up 9 percent, for the best
November performance since 2004.
The November retail sales performance of 147,021 vehicles reflects broad-based
gains, with passenger cars up 6 percent, utilities up 3 percent and trucks up

since 2002, with Ford Fusion and Ford Fiesta both posting records.
"We continued to see sales increases across our full family of vehicles –
particularly with our passenger cars and utilities in conquest coastal markets
– helping us post our best November retail sales performance since 2004," said
John Felice, Ford vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and service. "Fusion
and Fiesta were particular standouts, setting November records, and Ford
trucks maintained their strong selling pace."
Fusion sales of 22,839 vehicles for the month are up 51 percent year over
year, for the car's best-ever November sales performance. Fusion sales
continue to expand fastest in the western U.S., where retail sales are up 79
percent – including a 101 percent increase in California. Fiesta also had its
best-ever November sales performance with 4,642 vehicles sold.
Ford F-Series continued its pace of selling more than 60,000 trucks for the
seventh straight month, strengthening its position as America's best-selling
pickup and best-selling vehicle for another consecutive year. Sales of 65,501
F-Series trucks in November represents an increase of 16 percent compared with
a year ago.

of 17 percent. November MKZ retail sales in California more than tripled for
the period.
