Ford Vice Chairman Gilmour to Retire: Allan Gilmour, once considered a front-runner to head America’s second-largest auto maker, said he will retire at year’s end. Gilmour, 60, joined Ford Motor Co. in 1960 as a financial analyst and moved up the ranks. He was appointed vice chairman in 1992. No replacement was named. Executives now reporting to Gilmour will report to Chairman Alex Trotman after the retirement. Trotman was named Ford chairman in October, 1993, after a two-year search in which he and Gilmour had emerged as likely successors to Harold Poling.
