Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) announced Tuesday that it is going to offer a payment protection plan that will cover car buyers in case they lose their jobs after purchasing a new car. The new program follows in the same path as Hyundai Motor Co. who launched a similar program in an effort to sell more vehicles. Ford will cover payments of up to $700 each month for up to one year on any new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle.
