Sometime next week, the last Ford Taurus will roll off an assembly line at a Ford plant near Atlanta, The Associated Press reported.
After 21 years and sales of nearly 7 million cars, Ford is finally giving up on what some call the most influential automobile since Henry Ford's Model T, the story said. The 2006 and 2007 models of Taurus were only sold via fleet sales after they were taken off the public market in 2005.
The Taurus became the best-selling car in America in 1992 with sales of nearly 410,000, unseating the Honda Accord. It held the top spot for five straight years until it was supplanted by the Toyota Camry in 1997. Even near death in September, it remained Ford's top-selling car, the AP noted.
Ford also sold another 2 million Mercury Sables, the Taurus' nearly identical twin.
