Ford says U.S. industry auto sales up 12 percent from year before



    DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co said Tuesday it expects U.S. September auto sales to show a gain of 12 percent from a year ago.

    Ford said it expects an annualized seasonally adjusted sales rate of 15 million vehicles, including medium and heavy trucks, which would suggest a light vehicle annualized rate of about 14.7 million vehicles.

    Ford's September sales were flat compared with a year before.
