Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC reported gains in U.S. sales in April that reflect continuing improvement for the auto industry after one of its toughest years ever.

Ford said its domestic light-vehicle sales rose 25% to 167,283. The total includes sales of 4,546 vehicles by Volvo, which Ford is in the process of selling.

GM reported a smaller increase of 6.7% to 183,614. GM's growth was limited by the phaseout or disposal of four brands—Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer and Saab—it chose to discard in its bankruptcy reorganization last year.

Sales of vehicles from the four brands GM is keeping—Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC—rose 19.7% to 183,091. The discarded brands accounted for sales of 906 vehicles in April, a big drop from their year-ago sales total of 20,010.

Chrysler reported a 25% rise to 95,703 vehicle sales in April, which it said was its best year-over-year percentage improvement in almost five years. The company said sales were up 3% from March.
