The establishment of a Ford truck assembly plant in Israel moved a step closer today when a group of Israeli businessmen, including local Ford agents, were invited to London to discuss the project. The invitation came from the manager of Ford industries in Europe, It was a follow-up to the recent Israel visit of Henry Ford II. The American motor magnate expressed interest in increasing Ford’s investment in this country. Ford’s European-made motorcars are presently assembled at a plant in Israel. A Ford truck assembly plant would replace the British Leyland Motor Co. plant whose monopoly on truck assemblies here expires shortly.
