However, the picture starts to look a lot better once you compare April and May of this year.<br /><br />All in all, Ford sold 161,197 vehicles last month in the U.S.. Yes, this was 24% off the pace it set last year at this time, but it does mark a pretty impressive 20% jump over its numbers during the previous month, as the company was able to take slight advantage of its competitors' financial woes.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/02/ford-f-sees-big-drop-in-may-sales-but-does-pick-up-market-sha/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ford sees big drop in May sales, but does pick up market share</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/02/ford-f-sees-big-drop-in-may-sales-but-does-pick-up-market-sha/">Ford sees big drop in May sales, but does pick up market share</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:00:00 EST.
