                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Boards of Directors of
Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Credit Company:

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of the Ford
Credit Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993 and the related statement of income
and changes in plan equity for the period from July 1, 1993 to December 31,
1993.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Ford Credit Savings Plan
as of December 31, 1993, and the income and changes in plan equity for the
period from July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of the Ford
Credit Savings Plan are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The individual fund information in the statement of financial condition
and the statement of income and changes in plan equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the financial condition
and income and changes in plan equity of each fund.  The supplemental schedules
and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Investments

      The investment in the Ford Stock Fund, representing shares of Ford Motor
      Company Common Stock ("Ford Stock"), and investments in all other funds
      are valued on the basis of established year-end market prices.

      Contributions

      Contributions to the Ford Credit Savings Plan (the "Plan") from employees
      and from Ford Motor Credit Company (the "Company" or "Ford Credit") are
      recorded in the period that payroll deductions are made from plan
      participants.

      Other

      Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.
      Gains and losses on sales of securities are based on identified cost.

      Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date; income from other
      investments is recorded as earned.

      The Plan presents in the statement of income and changes in plan equity
      the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments
      which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
      appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

      The costs of administering the Plan are being absorbed by Ford Credit.


2.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

      The Plan became effective July 1, 1993.  At that date, assets relating to
      employees of Ford Credit, who previously participated in the Ford Motor
      Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees, were
      transferred into the Plan.

      Following is a brief description of the Plan.  The provisions of the Plan
      are governed in all respects by the detailed terms and conditions
      contained in the Plan itself.

      Type and Purpose of the Plan

      The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to encourage and
      facilitate systematic savings and investment by eligible salaried
      employees and to provide them with an opportunity to invest in Ford Motor
      Company.  The Plan includes provisions for voting shares of Ford Stock.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued



2.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, continued:

      Eligibility

      With certain exceptions, regular full-time salaried employees having at
      least 12 months of continuous service are eligible to participate in the
      Plan.  Certain other part-time and temporary employees also may be
      eligible to participate in the Plan.  Participation in the Plan is
      voluntary.

      The Plan has both before-tax and after-tax savings components.  Under the
      Plan and subject to limits required to be imposed by the Internal Revenue
      Code, participants may elect a reduction in base salary up to 15 percent
      with a corresponding contribution, defined below, made to the Plan by the
      Company on their behalf.  Subject to limitations imposed by the Internal
      Revenue Code, participants may also contribute up to 10 percent of their
      base salaries to the regular savings feature of the Plan on an after-tax
      basis.  The investment programs are the same for all savings
      contributions.

      For the period from July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, the Company
      matched 100 percent of each dollar contributed up to 3 percent of
      contributing participants' base salaries, and 50 percent for the next 4
      percent of contributing participants' base salaries.  All Company
      matching contributions are invested in shares of Company Stock.
      Effective January 1, 1994, the Company increased its 100 percent matching
      percentage for each dollar contributed to 4 percent of the participants'
      base salary and 50 percent matching for the next 4 percent of the
      contributing participants' base salary.

      Transfer of Assets

      The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment elections, with

2.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, continued:

      Investment Programs and Participation

      Participant contributions are invested in accordance with the
      participant's election in one or more of several investment programs.
      The types of investment programs, and the approximate number of
      participants contributing to each program in December 1993 are as
      follows:

               Ford Stock Fund                                   6,200
               Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio        1,200  
               Income Fund                                       4,000
               Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund                   1,800
               Fidelity U. S. Equity Index Commingled Pool       2,100
               Fidelity Magellan Fund                            3,700
               Fidelity Growth Company Fund                      2,800

      At December 31, 1993, approximately 6,200 participants held assets in the
      Plan.

      Participants may elect to contribute to an income fund placed with an
      insurance company or bank.  The insurance company or bank agrees to repay
      the principal and a stipulated rate of interest over a specified time
      period.  Contributions to the Income Fund in 1993 were placed with Lehman
      Government Securities, Inc. at an annual effective interest rate of 5.38
      percent.  Contributions to the Income Fund in 1992 were placed with
      Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") at an annual
      effective interest rate of 7.03 percent.  Contributions to the Income
      Fund in 1991 were placed two-thirds with Prudential and one-third with
      Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, both at an annual effective interest
      rate of 8.30 percent.  Contributions to the Income Fund may not be
      transferred out to other funds until the contract expires.  Participants
      may not take out a participant loan against money in the Income Fund.
      Participants in the Income Fund may not withdraw from this fund before
      expiration of contract unless the participant is no longer employed by
      Ford Credit.

      Investment details as of December 31, 1993 are set forth in Schedule I -
      Item 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes.

2.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, continued:

      Vesting and Distributions

      Before-tax assets, after-tax assets and assets resulting from Company
      matching contributions (Ford Stock and related dividend earnings) are
      accumulated in annual "classes."

      Effective July 1, 1993, Company matching contributions vest 25 percent
      after 2 years of plan service and an additional 25 percent after the
      completion of each of the subsequent 3 years of plan service.  Upon
      completion of 5 years of service, all assets attributable to Company
      matching contributions held in participants' accounts and all future
      contributions vest when made.

      Before-tax assets may not be withdrawn by participants until the
      termination of their employment or until they reach age 59-1/2, except in
      the case of personal financial hardship.  Participants may borrow from
      their before-tax accounts within the limits imposed by the Plan.  Monthly
      loan interest rates are based on the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street
      Journal.


3.    FORFEITURES:

      The Plan permits the Company to use the value of Ford Stock forfeited
      from participants' accounts to pay certain plan administration expenses
      and, to the extent not used to pay such expenses, to reduce the Company's
      contributions to the Plan.  To the extent that forfeited shares are not
      available to pay certain administrative expenses, the Company pays such
      expenses directly.


4.    TAX STATUS:

      In connection with the adoption of the Plan in the current year, the
      Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has not issued a determination letter
      holding that the Plan meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the
      Internal Revenue Code and that the trust established thereunder is
      entitled to exemption from federal income tax under the provisions of
      Section 501(a) of the Code as of December 31, 1993.  The Company does
      expect a favorable ruling upon submission of the Plan to the IRS in late
      1994.  Therefore, the Company believes that the Plan was qualified, and
      the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

5.    PLAN TERMINATION:

      The Company, by action of the Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan
      at any time.  Termination of the Plan would not affect the rights of a
      participant as to (a) the continuance of investment, distribution or
      withdrawal of the securities, cash and cash value of the Ford Stock Fund
      units in the account of the participant as of the effective date of such
      termination, or (b) continuance of vesting of such securities and cash
      attributable to Company matching contributions or earnings thereon.


6.    ASSET VALUE PER FUND UNIT:
