REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Motor Company

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor Company  and
Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ford Motor
Company and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 6 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the
company changed its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits
other than pensions and income taxes in 1992.

                              Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1.  Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include all significant
majority-owned subsidiaries and reflect the operating results, assets,
liabilities and cash flows for two business segments:  Automotive and
Financial Services.  The assets and liabilities of the Automotive
segment are classified as current or noncurrent, and those of the
Financial Services segment are unclassified.  Affiliates that are
20% to 50% owned, principally Mazda Motor Corporation, Autolatina and
AutoAlliance International Inc., and subsidiaries where control is
expected to be temporary, principally investments in certain
dealerships, are generally accounted for on an equity basis.  For
purposes of Notes to Financial Statements, "Ford" or "the company"
means Ford Motor Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries unless
the context requires otherwise.

Revenue Recognition - Automotive
- --------------------------------
Sales are recorded by the company when products are shipped to
dealers.  Provisions for approved sales incentive programs normally
are recognized as sales reductions at the time of sale.  Sales
incentive programs approved subsequent to the time that related sales
were recorded are recognized when the programs are approved.

Revenue Recognition - Financial Services
- ----------------------------------------
Revenue from finance receivables is recognized over the term of the
receivable using the interest method.  Certain loan origination costs
are deferred and amortized over the term of the related receivable as
a reduction in financing revenue.  Revenue from operating leases is
recognized as scheduled payments become due.  Agreements between
Automotive operations and certain Financial Services operations
provide for interest supplements and other support to be paid by
Automotive operations on certain financing and leasing transactions. 
Financial Services operations recognize this revenue in income over
the period that the related receivables and leases are outstanding;
these interest supplements and other support costs are recorded as
sales reductions by the Automotive operations at the time of sale of
the related vehicle.

Other Costs
- -----------
Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

Anticipated costs related to product warranty are accrued at the time
of sale. 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and were
$5,021 million in 1993, $4,332 million in 1992 and $3,728 million in
1991.

Income/(Loss) Per Share of Common and Class B Stock
- ---------------------------------------------------
Income/(loss) per share of Common and Class B Stock is calculated by
dividing income/(loss) attributable to Common and Class B Stock by the
average number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock outstanding
during the applicable period.

The company has outstanding securities, primarily Series A Preferred
Stock and certain convertible debt of subsidiary companies, which
could be converted to Common Stock.  Other obligations, such as stock
options, are considered to be common stock equivalents.  The
calculation of income/(loss) per share of Common and Class B Stock
assuming full dilution takes into account the effect of these
convertible securities and common stock equivalents when the effect is
material and dilutive.  

Foreign-Currency Translation
- ----------------------------
Revenues, costs and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated to
U.S. dollars at average-period exchange rates.  The effect of changes
in foreign exchange rates on revenues and costs was generally
unfavorable in 1993, particularly in Europe.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S.
dollars at end-of-period exchange rates.  The effects of this
translation for most foreign subsidiaries and certain other foreign
currency transactions are reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.  Translation gains and losses for foreign
subsidiaries that are located in highly inflationary countries or
conduct a major portion of their business with the company's U.S.
operations are included in income.  Also included in income are gains
and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency of the entity involved.  

The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on assets and
liabilities, as described above, increased net income by $419 million
in 1993 and decreased the net loss by $132 million in 1992 and by $81
million in 1991.  These amounts included net transaction and
translation gains before taxes of $988 million in 1993, $557 million
in 1992 and $662 million in 1991.  These gains were offset
substantially by costs of sales that reflected historical exchange
rates for costs associated with inventories in countries with high
inflation rates.

Goodwill
- --------
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets of acquired companies and is being amortized
using the straight-line method principally over 40 years.  Total
goodwill included in Automotive and Financial Services other assets at
December 31, 1993 was $2.6 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.


Preferred Stockholders' Equity in a Subsidiary Company
- ------------------------------------------------------
Preferred stockholders' equity in a subsidiary company refers to the
outstanding preferred stock of Ford Holdings, Inc. ("Ford Holdings"),
a subsidiary of Ford.  All the outstanding common stock of Ford
Holdings, representing 75% of the combined voting power of all classes
of capital stock of Ford Holdings, is owned directly or indirectly by
Ford.  The balance of the capital stock and voting power is owned by
persons other than Ford.
<PAGE>

NOTE 2.  Marketable and Other Securities
- ----------------------------------------
Automotive
- ----------
Automotive marketable securities are recorded at cost plus accrued
interest, which approximates fair value.

Financial Services
- ------------------
Investments in debt securities are recorded at amortized cost because
of the ability to hold such securities until maturity and the intent
to hold them for the foreseeable future.  If market conditions change,
however, certain of these securities may be sold prior to maturity. 
Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value.  

Investments in debt securities at December 31 were as follows (in
millions):

Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities were $11.2
billion in 1993, $10.5 billion in 1992 and $13.9 billion in 1991. 
In 1993, gross gains of $113 million and gross losses of $20
million were realized on those sales; gross gains of $142 million
and gross losses of $86 million were realized in 1992, and gross
gains of $141 million and gross losses of $22 million were
realized in 1991.   

Investments in securities other than debt securities totaled
$2,472 million at December 31, 1993 and $2,475 million at
December 31, 1992.  The estimated fair value in excess of book
value of those securities which were practicable to value was $59
million at December 31, 1993 and $2 million at December 31, 1992. 
It was not practicable to calculate the fair value of certain
securities totaling $660 million at December 31, 1993 and
$740 million at December 31, 1992 because they represented
preferred stocks of non-traded companies with whom the company
does business and for which similar market-traded securities were
not available for comparison.

NOTE 3.  Net Receivables and Lease Investments - Financial        
         Services
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Included in net receivables and lease investments at December 31
were net finance receivables, investments in direct financing
leases and investments in operating leases.  The investments in
direct financing and operating leases relate to the leasing of
motor vehicles and various types of transportation and other
equipment and facilities.

Net finance receivables at December 31 were as follows (in
millions):

Included in finance receivables was a total of $1.5 billion for
1993 and $1.9 billion for 1992 owed by three customers with the
largest receivable balances.  Other finance receivables consisted
primarily of commercial and consumer loans, collateralized loans,
credit card receivables, general corporate obligations and
accrued interest.  Also included in other finance receivables at
December 31, 1993 and 1992 were $2,430 million and
$1,767 million, respectively, of accounts receivable purchased by
certain Financial Services operations from Automotive operations. 

Contractual maturities of automotive and other finance
receivables are as follows (in millions):  1994 - $41,376; 
1995 - $16,316; 1996 - $11,321; thereafter - $14,693.  Experience
indicates that a substantial portion of the portfolio generally
is repaid before contractual maturity dates.

The fair value of most receivables was estimated by discounting
future cash flows using an estimated discount rate which
reflected the credit, interest rate and prepayment risks
associated with similar types of instruments.  For receivables
with short maturities, the book value approximated fair value.

Sales of finance receivables increased net income by $60 million
in 1993, $7 million in 1992 and $84 million in 1991.  Allowances
for anticipated credit losses are made where limited guarantee
provisions of the sales contracts exist.

Investments in direct financing leases at December 31 were as
follows (in millions):

                                                    1993           1992

Future minimum rentals on operating leases are as follows (in
millions):  1994 - $3,719; 1995 - $1,837; 1996 - $387; 1997 -
$77; thereafter - $118. 

Depreciation expense on operating leases reflects primarily the
straight-line method over the term of the leases and was as
follows (in millions): 1993 - $2,984; 1992 - $2,000; 1991 -
$1,400.

Allowances For Credit Losses
- ----------------------------
Allowances for credit losses are established as required based on
historical experience.  Other factors that affect collectibility
also are evaluated, and additional amounts may be provided. 
Finance receivables and lease investments are charged to the
allowances for credit losses when an account is deemed to be
uncollectible, taking into consideration the financial condition
of the borrower, the value of the collateral, recourse to
guarantors and other factors.  Recoveries on finance receivables
and lease investments previously charged off as uncollectible are
credited to the allowances for credit losses. 

Changes in the allowances for credit losses were as follows (in
millions):

                                     1993           1992           1991

NOTE 4.  Inventories - Automotive
- ---------------------------------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The cost
of most U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out
("LIFO") method.  The cost of the remaining inventories is
determined substantially by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
method.

If FIFO was the only method of inventory accounting used by the
company, inventories would have been $1,342 million and $1,365
million higher than reported at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

The major classes of inventories at December 31 were as follows
(in millions):

Assets placed in service before January 1, 1993 are depreciated using
an accelerated method that results in accumulated depreciation of
approximately two-thirds of asset cost during the first half of the
asset's estimated useful life.  Assets placed in service after
December 31, 1992 are depreciated using the straight-line method of
depreciation.  This change in accounting principle was made to reflect
improvements in the design and flexibility of manufacturing machinery
and equipment and improvements in maintenance practices.  These
improvements have resulted in more uniform productive capacities and
maintenance costs over the useful life of an asset, and straight-line
depreciation is preferable in these circumstances.  The effect of this
change was not significant in 1993.

On average, buildings and land improvements are depreciated based on a
30-year life; automotive machinery and equipment are depreciated based
on a 14-year life.  

When plant and equipment are retired, the general policy is to charge
the cost of those assets, reduced by net salvage proceeds, to
accumulated depreciation.  All maintenance, repair and rearrangement
costs are expensed as incurred.  Expenditures that increase the value
or productive capacity of assets are capitalized.  Special tools are
amortized over periods of time representing the productive use of
those tools.  Preproduction costs related to new facilities are
expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were as follows (in millions):

*Excludes cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles

The provision/(credit) includes estimated taxes payable on that
portion of retained earnings of subsidiaries expected to be received
by the company.  No provision was made with respect to $4.9 billion of
retained earnings at December 31, 1993 which have been invested by
foreign subsidiaries.  These retained earnings have incurred foreign
income taxes that would have the effect of reducing substantially
income tax liabilities that could result from their distribution.  

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," as of January 1,
1992.  The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle
decreased the net loss in 1992 by $657 million.  Financial statements
for prior years were not restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109. 
The adoption of SFAS 109 changes the method of accounting for income
taxes from the deferred method using Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11 ("APB 11") to an asset and liability approach.

Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the estimated tax effect
of temporary differences between assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and those amounts as measured by tax laws and
regulations. 

The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at
December 31 were as follows (in millions):

Net foreign operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes were $3.7
billion at December 31, 1993.  A significant portion of these losses
have an indefinite carryforward period; the remaining losses have
expiration dates beginning in 1995.  For financial statement purposes,
the tax benefit of operating losses is recognized as a deferred tax
asset, subject to appropriate valuation allowances.

Deferred income taxes for 1991 were derived using the guidelines in
APB 11.  Under APB 11, deferred income taxes result from timing
differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses between
financial statements and tax returns.  The principal sources of these
differences and the related effect of each on the provision for income
taxes were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 8.  Employee Retirement Benefits
- -------------------------------------
Employee Retirement Plans
- -------------------------
The company has two principal retirement plans in the U.S.  The Ford-
UAW Retirement Plan covers hourly employees represented by the UAW,
and the General Retirement Plan covers substantially all other
employees of the company and several finance subsidiaries in the U.S. 
The hourly plan provides noncontributory benefits related to employee
service.  The salaried plan provides similar noncontributory benefits
and contributory benefits related to pay and service.  Other U.S. and
non-U.S. subsidiaries have separate plans which generally provide
similar types of benefits covering their employees.  The company and
its subsidiaries also have defined benefit plans applicable to certain
executives that provide unfunded benefits.

The company's policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a
minimum, amounts required by applicable law, regulations and union
agreements.  Plan assets consist principally of investments in stocks,
government and other fixed income securities and real estate.  The
various plans generally are funded, except in Germany where this has
not been the custom, and as such, an unfunded liability is recorded.

The company's pension expense, including Financial Services, reflected

Costs associated with amendments made in 1993 to the Ford-UAW
Retirement Plan and to the General Retirement Plan were more than
offset by an increased return on assets that decreased net pension
expense in 1993 compared with 1992.   Non-U.S. pension expense also
decreased in 1993, reflecting the result of restructuring actions in
Europe.

Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
- ------------------------------------------------------
The company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor unfunded plans to
provide selected health care and life insurance benefits for retired
employees.  The company's U.S. and Canadian employees may become
eligible for those benefits if they retire while working for the
company; however, benefits and eligibility rules may be modified from
time to time.  Prior to 1992, the expense recognized for
postretirement health care benefits was based on actual expenditures
for the year.  Beginning in 1992, the estimated cost for
postretirement health care benefits is accrued on an actuarially
determined basis, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS 106"), "Employer's
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". 
Implementation of SFAS 106 has not increased the company's cash
expenditures for postretirement benefits.  The company elected to
recognize immediately the prior-year unaccrued accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation, resulting in an adverse effect on
income of $7,540 million in the first quarter of 1992.  The charge
reflected an unaccrued retiree benefit obligation liability of
$12 billion, offset partially by projected tax benefits of
$4.5 billion.  In addition, the loss in 1992 was increased by
$455 million ($723 million before taxes) for the ongoing effect of
adopting SFAS 106.

Net postretirement benefit expense included the following (in
millions):

                                                         1993           1992 

Benefits attributed to employees' service               $  240         $  235
Interest on accumulated benefit obligation               1,207          1,129

  Net postretirement benefit expense                    $1,447         $1,364

Retiree benefit payments were as follows (in millions):  1993 - $654;
1992 - $641; 1991 - $628.

The status of these plans, reconciled with the amounts recognized in
the company's balance sheet at December 31, was as follows (in
millions):

                                                  1993             1992

  Discount rate at year-end                          7.5%           8.5%

  Ultimate trend rate in ten years                   5.5%           5.5%
  Weighted-average trend rate                        6.8%           6.9%

Changing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage
point would change the aggregate service and interest cost components
of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 by $240 million
and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31,
1993 by $2.4 billion.

$5,810; 1998 - $8,502; thereafter - $13,184.

Included in debt at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992 were
obligations payable in foreign currencies of $12.9 billion and
$14.7 billion, respectively.  These obligations were issued primarily
to fund foreign business operations. 

Support Facilities
- ------------------
At December 31, 1993, Ford (parent company only) had long-term
contractually committed credit agreements in the U.S. under which
$4.8 billion is available from various banks at least through 
June 30, 1998.  The entire $4.8 billion may be used, at Ford's option,
by either Ford or Ford Credit.  These facilities were unused at
December 31, 1993.

Outside the U.S., Ford had additional long-term contractually
committed credit-line facilities of $2.4 billion.  These facilities
are available in varying amounts from 1994 through 1998; these
facilities were unused at December 31, 1993.

At December 31, 1993, Financial Services had $24.9 billion of support
facilities (including the $4.8 billion of the Ford credit agreements)
for use in the U.S., all of which were contractually committed.  At
December 31, 1993, less than 1% of these facilities, excluding the
Ford credit agreements, were in use.  At that date, an additional
$14.5 billion of support facilities were available outside the U.S.,
of which $6.4 billion were contractually committed.  At
December 31, 1993, $6 billion of these support facilities outside the
U.S. were in use.

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money
market deposits was the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1993. 
The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated
using the rate currently offered for deposits with similar remaining
maturities.

At December 31, 1993, term accounts included scheduled maturities as
follows (in millions): 1994 - $3,846; 1995 - $596; 1996 - $596; 1997 -
$214; 1998 - $145; thereafter - $20.

The liability for annuity contracts, included in other liabilities,
was $1,598 million at December 31, 1993 and $777 million at December
31, 1992, and reflected deposits received and interest credited, less
related withdrawals.  The weighted-average interest rate on annuity
contracts outstanding at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was 6.2% and 7.3%,
respectively.  Interest rates offered are initially guaranteed for
periods of either one or five years.  Interest credited to annuity
account balances is recognized as expense; surrender charges are
recognized as a reduction of interest credited to annuitants.  The
fair value of annuity contracts at December 31, 1993 and 1992
approximated book value because the contractual interest rate due
holders is reset annually for more than 97% of contracts outstanding.

NOTE 11.  Capital Stock
- -----------------------
The authorized capital stock of the company consists of Common Stock,
Class B Stock and Preferred Stock.  Authorized shares of stock at
December 31, 1993 were as follows: 1 billion shares of Common Stock;
88.4 million shares of Class B Stock; and 30 million shares of
Preferred Stock.  

At December 31, 1993, all general voting power was vested in the
holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class B Stock, voting
together without regard to class.  At that date, the holders of Common
Stock were entitled to one vote per share and, in the aggregate, had
60% of the general voting power; the holders of Class B Stock were
entitled to such number of votes per share as would give them, in the
aggregate, the remaining 40% of the general voting power, as provided
in the company's Certificate of Incorporation.

The Certificate provides that all shares of Common Stock and Class B
Stock share equally in dividends (other than dividends declared with
respect to any outstanding Preferred Stock), except that any stock
dividends are payable in shares of Common Stock to holders of that
class and in Class B Stock to holders of that class.  Upon
liquidation, all shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock are entitled
to share equally in the assets of the company available for
distribution to the holders of such shares.  

In 1991, the company sold 46,000,000 Depositary Shares, each
representing 1/1,000 of a share of Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), for a total public
offering price of $2.3 billion.  As a result, 46,000 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock were issued.  The Series A Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference equivalent to $50 per Depositary Share and
dividends accumulate on the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate
equivalent to $4.20 per year per Depositary Share.  The Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time
into shares of Common Stock of the company at a rate equivalent to
1.6327 shares of Common Stock for each Depositary Share (equivalent to
a conversion price of $30.625 per share of Common Stock).  The Series
A Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares representing such stock
are not redeemable prior to December 7, 1997.  On and after December
7, 1997, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at the
company's option, in whole or in part, initially at an amount
equivalent to $51.68 per Depositary Share and thereafter at prices
declining to $50 per Depositary Share on and after 
December 1, 2001, plus, in each case, an amount equal to the sum of
all accrued and unpaid dividends.  At December 31, 1993, the
liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Stock was 
$2.3 billion, and 45,994 shares were outstanding.  

In 1992, the company sold 45,600,000 Depositary Shares, each
representing 1/2,000 of a share of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred Stock"), for a total public offering price of
$1.1 billion.  As a result, 22,800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock
were issued.  The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation
preference equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share and dividends
accumulate at a rate equivalent to $2.0625 per year per Depositary
Share.  The Series B Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares
representing such stock are not redeemable prior to December 1, 2002. 
On and after December 1, 2002 and upon satisfaction of certain
conditions, the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at the
option of Ford, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equivalent
to $25 per Depositary Share, plus an amount equal to the sum of all
accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series B Preferred Stock does not
have any sinking fund and is not convertible into any other
securities.  At December 31, 1993, the liquidation preference of the
Series B Preferred Stock was $1.1 billion, and 22,800 shares were
outstanding.

The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock rank (and
any other outstanding Preferred Stock of the company would rank)
senior to the Common Stock and Class B Stock in respect of dividends
and liquidation rights.

NOTE 12.  Stock Options
- -----------------------
The company has stock options outstanding under the 1985 Stock Option
Plan and the 1990 Long-term Incentive Plan.  These plans were approved
by the stockholders.

d/    In addition, up to 1% of the issued Common Stock as of December 31
      of any year may be made available for stock options and other plan
      awards in the next succeeding calendar year.  That limit may be
      increased up to 2% in any year, with a corresponding reduction in
      shares available for grants in future years.

No further grants may be made under the 1985 Plan.  Grants may be made
under the 1990 Plan through April 2000.  In general, options granted
under the 1985 Plan and options granted to date under the 1990 Plan
become exercisable 25% after one year from the date of grant, 50%
after two years, 75% after three years and in full after four years. 
Options under both Plans expire after 10 years.  Certain options
outstanding under the plans were granted with an equal number of
accompanying stock appreciation rights which may be exercised in lieu
of the options.  Under the Plans, a stock appreciation right entitles
the holder to receive, without payment, the excess of the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise over the option
price, either in Common Stock or cash or a combination.  In addition,
grants of Contingent Stock Rights were made with respect to
1,163,600 shares in 1993, 632,400 shares in 1992 and 1,015,500 shares
in 1991 under the 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan (not included in the
table above).  The number of shares ultimately awarded will depend on
the extent to which the Performance Target specified in each Right is
achieved, the individual performances of the recipients and other
factors.

NOTE 13.  Litigation and Claims
- -------------------------------
Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and
claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future
against the company and its subsidiaries, including those arising out
of alleged defects in the company's products, governmental regulations
relating to safety, emissions and fuel economy, financial services,
intellectual property rights, product warranties and environmental
matters.  Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be,
class actions.  Some of the foregoing matters involve or may involve
compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damage claims in
very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental
remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted,
would require very large expenditures.  

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual
litigated matters is not predictable with assurance, and it is
reasonably possible that some of the foregoing matters could be
decided unfavorably to the company or the subsidiary involved. 
Although the amount of the ultimate liability at December 31, 1993
with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, the company
believes that any resulting liability should not materially affect the
consolidated financial position of the company at December 31, 1993.

<PAGE>
NOTE 14.  Commitments and Contingencies
- ---------------------------------------
At December 31, 1993, the company had the following minimum rental
commitments under non-cancelable operating leases (in millions):  
1994 - $509; 1995 - $573; 1996 - $501; 1997 - $463; 
1998 - $201; thereafter - $708.

These amounts include rental commitments related to the sales and
leasebacks of certain Automotive machinery and equipment.

During 1993, the company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into
agreements with various banks to introduce credit card programs that
offer rebates which can be applied against the purchase or lease of
Ford cars or trucks.  The maximum amount of rebates available to
qualified cardholders at December 31, 1993 was $1.7 billion.  The
company has provided for the estimated net cost of these programs as a
vehicle marketing cost based on the estimated number of participants
who will ultimately purchase vehicles.

The company and many of its subsidiaries have entered into foreign
exchange agreements to manage exposure to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations.  These exchange agreements hedge primarily debt, firm
commitments and dividends that are denominated in foreign currencies
and net investments in foreign subsidiaries.  Agreements entered into
to manage these exposures include foreign currency forward contracts,
currency swaps and foreign currency options.  Gains or losses on the
various agreements are either recognized during the period or included
in the bases of the related transactions.

The fair value of these foreign exchange agreements generally was
estimated using current market prices provided by outside quotation
services.  The fair value was estimated to be a net receivable of
$124 million at December 31, 1993 and $302 million at December 31,
1992.  In the unlikely event that a counterparty fails to meet the
terms of a foreign exchange agreement, the company's market risk is
limited to the currency rate differential.  In the case of currency
swaps, the company's market risk also may include an interest rate
differential.  At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the total amount of the
company's foreign currency forward contracts, option contracts and
currency swaps outstanding was $8.6 billion and $11.3 billion,
respectively, maturing primarily through 1995.

The company and many of its subsidiaries have entered into
arrangements to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
These arrangements include primarily interest-rate swap agreements
and, to a lesser extent, interest-rate futures contracts.  The
differential paid or received on interest-rate swap agreements is
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.  Realized and
unrealized gains and losses on interest-rate futures contracts are
deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income or expense.

The fair value of interest-rate swaps is the estimated amount the
company would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreement.  The
fair value is calculated using information provided by outside
quotation services, taking into account current interest rates and the
current credit-worthiness of the swap counterparties.  The fair value
was estimated to be a net receivable of $585 million at December 31,
1993 and $371 million at December 31, 1992.  In the unlikely event
that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an interest-rate swap
agreement, the company's exposure is limited to the interest rate
differential.  The underlying principal amounts on which the company
has interest-rate swap agreements and futures contracts outstanding
aggregated $36.5 billion at December 31, 1993 and $21.1 billion at
December 31, 1992.

Certain Financial Services subsidiaries make credit lines available to
holders of their credit cards.  At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the
unused portion of available credit was approximately $9.9 billion and
$5.5 billion, respectively, and is revocable under specified
conditions.  The fair value of unused credit lines and the potential
risk of loss was not considered to be significant.

In addition, the company and its subsidiaries have entered into a
variety of other financial agreements which contain potential risk of
loss.  These agreements include limited guarantees under sales of
receivables agreements, financial guarantees, letters of credit,
interest rate caps and floors and government security repurchase
agreements.  The fair value of these agreements and the potential risk
of loss was not considered to be significant.

The company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The book
value of these investments approximates fair value because of the
short maturity.  Cash flows resulting from futures contracts,
forward contracts and options that are accounted for as hedges of
identifiable transactions are classified in the same category as the
item being hedged.

Cash paid for interest and income taxes was as follows (in

NOTE 16. Segment Information
- ----------------------------
The company operates in two principal business segments:  Automotive
and Financial Services.  The Automotive segment consists of the
manufacture, assembly and sale of cars, trucks and related parts and
accessories.  The Financial Services segment consists primarily of
financing operations, insurance operations, savings and loan
operations, and vehicle and equipment leasing operations.  

Intersegment transactions represent principally transactions
occurring in the ordinary course of business, borrowings and related
transactions between entities in the Financial Services and
Automotive segments, and interest and other support under special
vehicle financing programs.  These arrangements are reflected in the
respective business segments.

Intercompany sales among geographic areas consist primarily of
vehicles, parts and components manufactured by the company and
various subsidiaries and sold to different entities within the

e/ The sum of the per-share amounts in 1993 and 1992 is different than the
