Ford to close its Australian Manufacturing Plants

Post by Brian »

Not really tractor related but Ford are to close all manufacturing in Australia by 2016 according to the BBC. They seem to be in worldwide decline as they have closed/closing all of the plants here in England. The management seem to only know one thing, closure. :cry:

Yes its the end of the line for the Falcon, but not unexpected. Leaves only Toyota and GM/ Holden, making cars in Australia And is the VF Commodore the last Aussie Holden? :eyes:

Do they really still make a Falcon? They haven't made any of those over here in the states for years. I liked the ones in the 60's the best.
Sorry to hear about the closure and all those people losing there jobs, that sucks!
