Well, the workers would assemble cars for some other manufacturer and an old name would disappear, but times change.
Companies that are out of touch should have the right to fail as well as succeed. How horrible is it that Studebaker, Packard, Nash, Hudson, Kaiser, Willys, Crosley, etc. are gone?
And it's not just car companies that disappear. How about banks: Crocker, First Interstate, Chemical Bank, Continental of Illinois, Great Western, Home Savings, and on and on and on.
It's called progress, and maybe Ford's time has run out.
