Ford to Expand Missouri Plant: The auto maker said it will spend $375 million to expand and retool its Kansas City, Mo., plant to build new versions of its Tempo and Topaz compact cars starting in mid-1994. About 200 jobs will be added to the plant, which now employs 4,200 workers making the current Tempo and Topaz series and the F-model pickup truck. The new compact cars, code-named CDW27 and designed by Ford of Europe, will be sold in two different versions through Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers in North America. A model called the Ford Mondeo is being built for the European market at Ford’s plant in Genk, Belgium. Tempo and Topaz, Ford’s first front-wheel drive compact cars, have been virtually unchanged since 1984.
