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
Agreement") and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Common
Shares which are to be offered by the Selling Security Holders were issued to
them pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement provides that the
acquisition is to be 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





                                       3

135, and that the Selling Security Holders are to hold the Common Shares which
they received in the transaction until the Company publishes the financial
results of the combined enterprise covering a period of at least 30 days.  The
Company expects to publish such results on or about April 17, 1995. The results
of operations and financial condition of the pre-merger Plumley Companies, Inc.
are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and,
accordingly, the Company's financial statements are not expected to be 
restated for the pooling of interests.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

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,
951 East Byrd Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

Indemnification of the directors and officers of the Company, a Virginia

Act (Section 13.1-1 of the Code of Virginia, as amended).

The SIXTH Article of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, provides as follows:

"SIXTH:

"1.  In this Article:

         'applicant' means the person seeking indemnification pursuant to this
         Article.

         'expenses' includes counsel fees.

         'liability' means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement,
         penalty, fine, including any excise tax assessed with respect to an
         employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to
         a proceeding.

         'party' includes an individual who was, is, or is threatened to be
         made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

         'proceeding' means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit,
         or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative and whether formal or informal.

"2.  In any proceeding brought by a shareholder of the Corporation in the right
of the Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the
Corporation, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages in excess of $50,000.00
with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct, whether prior
or subsequent to the effective date of this Article, except for liability
resulting from such person's having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing
violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

"3.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any
proceeding, including a proceeding brought by a shareholder in the right of the
Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of





                                      II-1
<PAGE>   7
the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer
of the Corporation against any liability incurred by him in connection with
such proceeding unless he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation
of the criminal law.

"4.  The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to all proceedings
commenced on or after the effective date hereof, arising from any act or
omission, whether occurring before or after such effective date.  The effective
date of this Article shall be the date on which the State Corporation
Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia issues a Certificate of Amendment
with respect hereto.  No amendment or repeal of this Article shall have any
effect on the rights provided under this Article with respect to any act or
omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.  The Corporation shall
promptly take all such actions, and make all such determinations, as shall be
necessary or appropriate to comply with its obligation to make any indemnity
under this Article and shall promptly pay or reimburse all reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by any such director, officer, employee or
agent in connection with such actions and determinations or proceedings of any
kind arising therefrom.

"5.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not of
itself create a presumption that the applicant did not meet the standard of
conduct described in Section 2 or 3 of this  Article.

"6.  Any indemnification under Section 3 of this Article (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 13.1-701 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act as in effect
from time to time, except that in the event there has been a change in the
composition of a majority of the Board of Directors after the date of (i) the
alleged act or omission or (ii) commencement of a continuing act or omission
with respect to which indemnification is claimed, any determination as to
indemnification and advancement of expenses with respect to any claim for
indemnification made pursuant to this Article shall be made exclusively by
special legal counsel agreed upon by the Board of Directors and the applicant.
If the Board of Directors and the applicant are unable to agree upon such
special legal counsel, the Board of Directors and the applicant each shall
select a nominee, and the nominees shall select such special legal counsel.

"7.      (a) The Corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses
incurred by any applicant who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding or the making of any determination under Section
3 if the applicant furnishes the Corporation:

                 (i)  a written statement of his good faith belief that he has
met the standard of conduct described in Section 3; and

                 (ii)  a written undertaking, executed personally or on his
behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not
meet such standard of conduct.

         (b)  The undertaking required by paragraph (ii) of subsection (a) of
this section shall be an unlimited general obligation of the applicant but need
not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to
make repayment.





                                      II-2
<PAGE>   8
         (c)  Authorizations of payments under this section shall be made in
accordance with the procedure specified in  Section 6.

"8.  The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of disinterested Directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify,
or to agree in advance to indemnify, by Bylaw provision or agreement any person
who was, is or may become a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that
he is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, to the same extent as if such person were specified as one
to whom indemnification is granted in Section 3.  The provisions of Sections 4
through 7 of this Article shall be applicable to any indemnification provided
hereafter pursuant to this Section 8.

"9.  Every reference herein to directors, officers, employees or agents shall
include former directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective
heirs, executors and administrators.  The indemnification hereby provided and
provided hereafter pursuant to the power hereby conferred by this Article on
the Board of Directors shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any
person may be entitled, including any right under policies of insurance that
may be purchased and maintained by the Corporation or others, with respect to
claims, issues or matters in relation to which the Corporation would not have
the power to indemnify such person under the provisions of this Article.  Such
rights shall not prevent or restrict the power of the Corporation to make or
provide for any further indemnity, or provisions for determining entitlement to
indemnity, pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements, bylaws, or other
arrangements (including, without limitation, creation of trust funds or
security interests funded by letters of credit or other means) approved by the
Board of Directors (whether or not any of the directors of the Corporation
shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements, bylaws or
arrangements); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any provision of such agreements, bylaws
or other arrangements shall not be effective if and to the extent that it is
determined to be contrary to this Article or applicable laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.

"10.  Each provision of this Article shall be severable, and an adverse
determination as to any such provision shall in no way affect the validity of

The Registrant carries a primary Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
policy with the Federal Insurance Company, a member of the Chubb Group of
Insurance Companies of Short Hills, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California, and
an excess policy with X.L. Insurance Company, Ltd. of Hamilton, Bermuda.
Collectively, these policies provide an annual liability limit of $50 million
with no deductibles for direct payments to directors and officers, where
applicable, and $5 million per loss for corporate reimbursement.  The policies
cover, among other persons, the elected directors and elected or appointed
officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries, either on a direct basis or to
reimburse the Registrant or its subsidiaries for amounts they expend in
indemnification of such individuals.  The insurers will pay, subject to the
deductible, 100% of all costs up to $50 million incurred as a result of any
breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or
other wrongful act by covered persons.  There is no coverage for acts of gross
negligence or intentional misconduct (e.g., libel and slander), acts resulting
in unlawful personal gain, sales in

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

P.O. Box 1000

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").

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
