Auto dealers happy
Monday, Jan. 28, 2002 | 9:45 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS -- Coming off the second best sales year in history, auto dealers said Sunday they found little to complain about during meetings with top executives at General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG.
The approximately 1,200 dealers who packed a Ford meeting during the National Automobile Dealers Association convention here even gave Jim O'Connor, president of the company's Ford division, a standing ovation. O'Connor said fences needed mending with Ford because of its forays into retailing, recycling and repair.
Dealers were happy to hear that Ford has sold off its retail operations and is looking for buyers for its Greenleaf recycling business and Kwik-Fit service centers that operate in Europe.
