From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Another Ford Plant Idled: Ford Motor Co. said it will close its Mustang plant in Dearborn, Mich., for an additional week starting today, this time because of a shortage of engine parts. The plant, which employs 2,100 hourly workers who build about 3,700 Mustangs a week, was idle last week because of a shortage of dealer orders. Ford plants in Atlanta and Kansas City, Mo., also will be idled this week, affecting 4,800 workers. Ford’s idle plant in Lorain, Ohio, is affecting 2,700 employees.
