<VV> Ford Shutdown NO CORVAIR

[Cliff Tibbitts]

The article in the paper this morning as well as one on NPR both indicated
the closing is only temporary.  Seems Ford trucks and SUVs aren't selling as
briskly in the past and this is just a means for regulating their
production.

Wouldn't a plant that opened in 1925 to build Ford Model T's qualify as a 
"monument," or at least an historical building ?
