Ford to report first sales increase in 20 months today




Brace yourself for some remarkable July sales figures today.

Thanks to Cash for Clunkers, automakers are likely to report remarkably vibrant monthly sales figures, leading off with Ford. Ford officials said Sunday that it will today report its first monthly sales increase since November, 2007. None of the six biggest automakers -- GM, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Toyota and Nissan -- have reported an increase since last August, Ford officials say.

Ford's gas-thrifty Focus, above, was one of the big sellers. "It is a sense that regular guys and gals...went out in July and bought cars and trucks," For sales Vice President Ken Czubay said.

Hyundai says Cash for Clunkers boosted its sales tally by 20%.
