December was not a month to remember for auto manufacturer Chrysler, and neither was the year it wrapped up. The bad news for Chrysler came in many forms: auto sales declined 4% last month compared to the same time in 2008; sales overall for 2009 were down 36%; total car and truck sales numbered 931,402, the first time they fell below one million since 1962; and the company fell to fifth place for the first time, after being passed by Honda, whose sales rose 24% in December.
While sales were also down for General Motors (30%) in 2009, Ford Motor Company actually showed signs of promise. Its sales last month in the U.S. were up 33% over December 2008, giving Ford its best month since May 2008.
