Ford was only going to give up ownership/control (i.e. through bankruptcy or bailout money) in a major fight. Why? Unlike GM or Chrysler (which was on the verge of failure, and the private equity co. were looking at mitigating loses) it is family controlled. The way the Ford stock is setup the Ford family controls 40% of the voting rights, (while only about 5% of the stock). But that also means the focus of the company is likely more long term that most other public companies.... after all the current chairman is the great-grandson of the founder.
What really "saved" Ford, was its actions back in 2006/2007 shortly after Mulally got there to raise $20B+ in cash. His idea? I don't know.
