  • In Re Ford Motor Company Securities Litigation 00-CV-74233
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION Master C e No. 00-74233 In re FORD MOTOR CO. CLASS A TION SECURITIES LITIGATION The Honorable Avern Cohn DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL CONSOLIDATED COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 l r" CJ'^ zti ^ OVERVIEW 1. This is an action on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock of Ford Motor Company, Inc. ("Ford") between March 31, 1998 and August 31, 2000 (the "Class Period"). This action arises out of the conduct of Ford to conceal from the investment community defects in Ford's Explorer sport-utility vehicles equipped with steel-belted radial ATX tires manufactured by Bridgestone Corp.'s U.S. subsidiary, Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. ("Bridgestone/Firestone"). The Explorer is Ford's most important product and its largest selling vehicle, which has accounted for 25% of Ford's profits during the 1990s. Due to the success of the Explorer, Ford became Bridgestone/ Firestone's largest customer and sales of ATX tires have been the largest source of revenues and profits for Bridgestone/Firestone during the 1990s. During the Class Period, Ford and Bridgestone had knowledge ofthousands ofclaims for and complaints concerning ATX tire failures, especially ATX tires manufactured at Bridgestone/Firestone's Decatur, Illinois plant during and after a bitter 1994-1996 strike, due to design and manufacturing defects in, and under-inflation of, the tires, which, when combined with the unreasonably dangerous and unstable nature of the Explorer, resulted in over 2,200 rollover accidents, 400 serious injuries and 174 fatalities by 2000.

  • Gt500 Reborn As a Modern Thoroughbred
    GT500 REBORN AS A MODERN THOROUGHBRED: SHELBY, SVT CREATE MOST POWERFUL MUSTANG EVER "Mustang Dream Team" of Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT develop a worthy successor to the legendary Shelby GT500 of the late '60s Shelby Cobra GT500 has modern performance credentials: 450-plus-hp, supercharged V-8, 6-speed manual transmission, SVT-tuned suspension SVT functional features with Shelby design flare - LeMans racing stripes, aerodynamic enhancements and 19-inch wheels with cross-drilled brake rotors The driving zone - red leather seat and door trim, titanium-faced gauges SOUNDBITES: FORD SHELBY COBRA GT500 Click here to view the entire press kit. The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history takes to the street next year, following a unique collaboration between performance car legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Ford took the wraps off the 450-plus-horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 show car at the New York International Auto Show March 23. Designed in the unmistakable image of Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra GT500 melds SVT's modern engineering with the big-block performance that made the original GT500 the king of the road. "The all-new 2005 Ford Mustang is one of the hottest cars in many years," says Phil Martens, Ford group vice president, Product Creation. "Its chassis was engineered from the beginning to be the basis of a high-performance, world-class sports car from SVT, and the Shelby Cobra GT500 is it." Carroll Shelby lends his support to SVT, adapting his earlier role as a senior advisor on the "Dream Team" that was assembled to develop and build the 2005 Ford GT.

  • The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History
    The Legend of Ford and Carroll Shelby, Changing the Course of Automotive History In the early 1960s, the advent of the American muscle car era would mean high-power V8 engines, quicker-shifting four-on-the-floor transmissions, bigger tires and improved suspensions for faster elapsed times as drag strips popped up across the country. This fierce competition for bragging rights on the weekends would lead to an increase in vehicle sales on showroom floors come Monday. With Henry Ford II determined his company could compete with the best and fastest in the world, a boisterous young man from Texas with a reputation for building winning race chassis powered by Ford engines came to the attention of executives in Dearborn. Soon a collaboration formed between Carroll Shelby and his Shelby America and Ford Motor Company – one that would change the course of automotive history. 1965 Shelby GT350 Shelby GT350, the first high-performance Mustang While Ford engineers worked in secret to develop the revolutionary Mustang pony car, Shelby was already hard at work building Ford-powered cars to take on the world at Le Mans. As the very first 1965 Mustangs came off the line, several were quietly shipped to Shelby America in California for engineering of the first high-performance Mustang – the Shelby GT350. Less than a year after Mustang began production, Ford and Shelby pounced with the first high- performance model, Shelby GT350. Powered by a Shelby-modified Ford 289 high-performance V8 churning out 306 horsepower, the 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 competition models were built and homologated for SCCA competition, quickly winning the first race on February 14, 1965.
