Ford (NYSE: F) announced today that Ford, Lincoln and Mercury October U.S. sales totaled 132,483, up 3.1% versus a year ago and 21% higher than September. This marks the third time in the last four months Ford sales have increased.

Ford's VP, U.S. Marketing Sales and Service, Ken Czubay, said, "Consumer demand for our new high-quality, fuel-efficient products is driving Ford's market share gains. Ford vehicles are among the 'freshest' available by any automaker - with more than 80 percent of our sales in October coming from our new 2010 models."

Ford estimates its total market share in October was more than 15% higher than a year ago and higher than its share in the first nine months of 2009. Ford's October retail share was up for the 12th time in 13 months.

"The Ford plan is working, led by the strength of our product lineup and customer demand for our new cars, utilities and trucks," said Czubay. "Consumers increasingly are noticing that the Ford difference is our great products, our strong business and our leadership in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart technologies and value."
