"   Ford seems to be on the verge of breaking a 13 month streak of declining U.S. vehicle sales, Reuters reported.   Since began its employee discount pricing program recently, on top of other incentives, its sales have improved.   Through the first 15 days of this month, Ford&amp;#039;s market share rebounded to 19.6 percent, up from 15.1 percent in June and 18.1 percent in July 2004, Reuters said, citing market research firm J.D. Power and Associates.   Ford&amp;#039;s retail sales jumped 27 percent versus a year ago because of the discount program dubbed &amp;quot;Ford Family Plan,&amp;quot; according to J.D Power&amp;#039;s Power Information Network, which compiles retail transaction data from more than 6,200 automotive franchises.   Overall, Ford&amp;#039;s U.S. sales are likely to increase 15 percent this month over July last year, according to an industry analyst. In all, sales incentives from Detroit&amp;#039;s automakers will boost industry sales to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 19 million vehicles in July, far above the 17.2 million rate in July last year and 17.5 million in June, the story said.
