Ford ... owns a joint-venture production plant in Turkey. Ford-Otosan, established in the 1970s, manufactures the Transit Connect compact panel van as well as the "Jumbo" and long wheelbase versions of the full-size Transit.

With concerns about rising gas prices, Ford designed the “Manhattan on a Tank of Gas” event to see how many miles the new hybrid electric SUV could be driven on a single tank of gas in severe traffic conditions. The test began on Monday, April 5 in mid-town Manhattan and ended late Tuesday night, April 6. Several celebrities drove a short leg of the epic journey in and around Manhattan including actor Kevin Bacon, actress Jaime Gleicher, and NASCAR driver Kurt Busch.

Nixon and Ford were never personally close, but the latter proved to be a perfect choice for the job. His characteristic loyalty determined his course: during the eight-plus months he served as vice president, Ford made approximately 500 public appearances in 40 states, traveling over 100,000 miles to defend the president. He was faithful to Nixon to the end; even in early August of 1974, after the House Judiciary Committee had voted a first article of impeachment against the president, Ford continued to defend Nixon and condemned the committee action as "partisan."
