Ford pretty much got lucky. If GM and Chrysler would've known that the market would tank and financing would practically disappear they would've borrowed cash before crap hit the fan as well. Ford had started their restructuring long ago and needed cash to finance it all so was better prepared to handle the market slump.

And yea, who knows when the fed is involved. Although this case is much more specific since they actually mortgaged specific items.
