</TABLE>



Plumley Companies, Inc. was acquired by the Company on January 31, 1995,
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger made as of that date (the "Merger

Shares which are to be offered by the Selling Security Holders were issued to
them pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  Under the Merger


                                          3








<PAGE>   5
Agreement, the acquisition was accounted for as a "pooling of interests" in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16 and as provided in
Accounting Series Releases Nos. 130 and 135. The results of operations and
financial condition of the pre-merger Plumley Companies, Inc. were not material 
to the Company's consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, the 
Company's financial statements were not restated for the pooling of interests.

The validity of the shares of Common Stock being sold in the offerings will be
passed upon for the Company by Hunton & Williams, Riverfront Plaza, East Tower,

Dana Corporation
P.O. Box 1000
Toledo, Ohio 43697

Gentlemen:

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the Registration Statement) relating to 2,356,283 shares
of Common Stock, $1 par value (the "Shares") of Dana Corporation (the
"Company") and to the reference to us under "Legal Matters" in the Registration
Statement.

We have examined such certificates of the Company's officers and such evidence
of corporate action as we consider relevant as the basis for this opinion, and
are of the opinion that the issuance of the Shares has been duly and validly
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, no other corporate action
being necessary, and that when the Shares are issued in accordance with the
acquisition agreement described in the Registration Statement, they will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable and no individual or personal
liability for the obligations of the Company will attach to the ownership of
the Shares.

Very truly yours,

HUNTON & WILLIAMS
