Ford Medical Division???

Ford to produce ventilators, respirators with 3M, GE Healthcare in coronavirus fight

Honest question: Could the Blue Oval make medical equipment an actual business division and be successful?

Would be one hell of a diversification!

Discuss.

Ford can't even make the sedan market successful

they've been making cars for over a century and cant get it right. God forbid you get one of their medical items...yikes

They built the control desks for the original NASA mission control which put men on the moon....

Wear a FORD respirator marketed as the "MUSTANG"

I'll pass on an ecoboost respirator.

Good for ford. Hopefully that keeps people working

Yeah, but there is a market for respirators.

Have You Driven A Ford.......Lately?

Regardless, Ford had some quality slogans and commercials back in the day.

They might be decent if they dont have a DCT.

Respirator tuning market about to explode...

I've read they are adapting the fans for the ventilated seats for either ventilators or respirators.

I’m all for it, in a time like this we all should be coming together as a nation and helping each other. We make extruded plastic laces for automotive glass at my work. I’d feel good if we made plastic ventilator tubing right now if possible.

There is a market for sedans too, ford just couldn't make one that any one wanted to buy. People still buying civics, accords, corollas, camrys, chargers and the like every day

Ford gave us boring fwd shit pile sedans. They killed the only remotely interesting sedan (crown Vic) sold here in 2011. I never understood why they didn’t try selling the falcon here.

I'm in as long as some mullet head doesn't try to put Chevy pwb's in it.

Hackett had a pretty good interview this morning on CNN and explained all supply chain capbilities, etc...

Ford, GM, and Tesla have been echoing this production opportunity for over a week and I think they started looking at producing sooner than the news agencies have been reporting.

Agreed but my Fusion I had didn’t give me much of an issue. It was actually a good car. Happy we got it back in 10 over a Focus.

Agreed, although the fusion was a good car they all felt like the same enterprise rental car over and over. Then you tack on the DCT issues in the focus/fusion and no one wanted a ford sedan except for the few of us that wanted the ST models, and then they killed that to. Well, you can still get ST models but they aren't what they should be by no means.

Hopefully they will put some Mustang inspired head lights and tail lights on them .....call it the M-Vent that will surely make them sell.
