Ford of CA Prez Quits After Six Months
posted in Car News Articles |
As Reuters notes, 90 percent of the vehicles Ford builds in Canada end-up in the U.S. So, despite the fact that the Ford F-series is still the best-selling vehicle north of the border, Ford Canada is suffering. All of which leads to the suprise (really?) resignation of Barry Engle, Ford of Canada’s president. Though Engle has served for several years for Ford and Chrysler, working in several capacities around the globe, he decided to exit the auto industry just six months after assuming FoMoCo Canada’s top job. Engle’s new job will be in his native Pennsylvania, working for an agricultural equipment company; IMHO he’s using “family time” as a smokescreen. Time for a Lilly Pulitzer: did he fall or was he pushed? And why?
