WASHINGTON The $1 billion federal cash forclunkers program is
drawing credit for giving auto-makers, including Ford Motor Co., a
huge sales boostin July. Now the question is how long it will
last.
Thousands of consumers eager to trade in rusty beaters for new
cars crowded dealership lots over thepast week, delivering
automakers their best month inmore than a year and injecting new
hope into thetroubled industry.
Ford saw its first monthly increase in U.S. salessince November
2007, netting a 1.6 percent sales gaincompared with last July,
while Hyundai Motor Co., Volkswagen, Kia and Subaru all saw sales
increases.General Motors Co., Toyota Motor Corp., Chryslerand
others enjoyed sharply diminished sales slides.
Overall, the U.S. light-vehicle market dropped12.2 percent in
July, according to Autodata Corp, theindustrys smallest slide since
May 2008.
Thats particularly goodnews for Indiana, which issecond only to
Michigan in its economic ties to theauto industry.
Chrysler and GM employ more than 12,000workers in Indiana, more
than half of them in Koko-
