Ford's Project Amazon Stalls

Automotive Industries,  June, 1999  by Norman Martin

Last month Ford sent Project Amazon -- an innovative $1 billion factory in a southern Brazilian state -- down the river. Brazil had refused to honor a pledge to provide the company with some $250 million in financing and infrastructure because of its budget crisis, and Ford walked.
