CORRECTED: Ford U.S. sales fall 34.6 percent

Corrects figures in paragraph three to reflect September results, rather than year-to-date results

DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co on Wednesday said its U.S. sales fell 34.6 percent in September to its weakest levels of the year due to a weakening U.S. economy and tight credit conditions.

Sales dropped to 120,788 vehicles in September from 184,612 vehicles a year earlier, including all of Ford's brands, the automaker said.

In its Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands, car sales fell 19.4 percent, crossover sales were down 30.2 percent, SUV sales plummeted 57 percent, and truck and van sales fell 38.8 percent.
