Ford Sales Top Estimates, as Chrysler, Nissan Fall Short

Strong sport-utility vehicle demand sent Ford Motor Co. (F)'s sales up 9.5 percent in July, exceeding estimates, while Chrysler Group LLC, Nissan Motor Co. and General Motors Co. (GM) reported U.S. deliveries that rose less than forecasts as analysts predicted a strong month for the industry. Chrysler's deliveries jumped 20 percent as Jeep also recorded its best July on a 41 percent surge by the sport-utility vehicle brand. GM's large SUVs powered a 9.4 percent increase that missed analysts' projections for an 11 percent rise. Analysts had estimated a 9.2 percent gain for Ford and a 23 percent gain for Chrysler.
