NEW YORK -- Ford says its November U.S. light vehicle sales tumbled 31 percent amid a continued slump in consumer spending and tight credit markets, according to The Associated Press.

Toyota's sales fell 34 percent despite its extension of zero-percent financing on a dozen vehicles.

The two companies' reports are a strong indication that sales for the month will be poor industrywide and comes as U.S.-based companies prepare to state their second case for a federal bailout.

Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford and Toyota, Japan's No. 1 automaker, are the first of the major automakers to report U.S. sales Tuesday.
