Cleveland Rocks with Ford Plant Closures

Ford is closing one Cleveland area factory and idling another. Ford announced that it would be idling it's Cleveland, Ohio casting plant. Simultaneously, Ford announced that it would be idling for a year one of two Cleveland area engine plants. The plant will be switching over from the old 3.0 liter to the new 3.5 liter engine. Other carmakers can switch engine lines within a typical summer shut-down period, perhaps extending it a little bit.
