                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Ford Motor Company:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Ford
Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried
Employees as listed in the accompanying index on page 1.  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 financial condition of the
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried
Employees at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the income and changes
in plan equity for the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules of the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment
Plan for Salaried Employees at December 31, 1993, 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, as amended.  The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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.

1.  Accounting Policies:
    -------------------

Investments
- - -----------
The investment in Ford Motor Company Common Stock (Company Stock) and
interests in the Common Stock Fund and the Bond Fund are valued on the
basis of established year-end market prices. Investments in the Income
Fund are at cost which approximates market. Investments in the Current
Interest Fund are carried at par value, as it is the intent of the Plan
to hold investments to maturity.

Contributions
- - -------------
Contributions to the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment
Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan) from employees and from Ford
Motor Company (the Company) and participating subsidiaries (as defined
in the Plan) 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 average 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.

2.  Description of the Plan:
    -----------------------

The Plan became effective February 1, 1956.

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 become stockholders
of the Company.  The Plan includes provisions for voting shares of
Company Stock.

Eligibility
- - -----------
With certain exceptions, regular full-time salaried employees having at
least twelve 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
                                 --------------                                

2.  Description of the Plan, continued:
    ----------------------------------

Contributions
- - ------------- 
The Plan has both a "Tax-Efficient Savings Program" (TESP) and a
"Regular Savings" feature.  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% with a corresponding TESP
contribution in the same amount made to the Plan by the Company on their
behalf.  Participants may also elect reductions in their distributions
under the Company's Profit Sharing Plan and Flexible Compensation
Account program, with a contribution in an amount corresponding to each
reduction made by the Company on their behalf to the Plan.  Such
contributions are excluded from the participants' taxable income. 
Subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code,
participants may also contribute up to 10% 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.

The Company matching provision of the Plan was suspended from April 1,
1991 through June 30, 1992. Effective July 1, 1992  Company matching was
reinstated at the rate of $.50 per dollar of participants' TESP and/or
Regular Savings contributions up to 5% of their base salaries. Effective
January 1, 1994, the Company began matching at the rate of $.60 for each
dollar of TESP and/or Regular Savings contributions up to 10% of
participants' base salaries. All Company matching contributions are
invested in shares of Company Stock. Contributions to TESP of amounts
from the Profit Sharing Plan and Flexible Compensation Account are not
matched.
      
Transfer of Assets
- - ------------------
The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment elections, with
certain restrictions related to transfers from the Income Fund. One
transfer each month for TESP assets and one transfer each month for
Regular Savings assets are permitted.
    
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 number of participants
contributing to each program in December 1993, are as follows:

2.  Description of the Plan, continued:
    ----------------------------------

Participants may elect to contribute to a Common Stock Fund, a
commingled index fund. The objective of the fund is to provide
investment results that closely correspond to the price and yield
performance of the publicly traded common stocks (i) of the 500
corporations included in Standard and Poor's 500 Index and (ii) of the
corporations having capitalizations of at least $100 million as publicly
reported from time to time and not included in the Standard and Poor's
500 Index. Assets of the fund are allocated between the Plan and the
Tax-Efficient Plan for Hourly Employees (TESPHE) in proportion to the
number of units each plan holds in the fund. Units of the fund held by
the Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and their per unit value, are
shown in Note 5. A small portion of the fund is invested in short-term
cash equivalents. 

Participants may elect to contribute to an Income Fund placed with an
insurance company or other organization.  The insurance company or other
organization 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 5.49%. The Income Fund in 1992 was placed
with Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) at an annual
effective interest rate of 7.03%  The Income Fund in 1991 was placed
two-thirds with Prudential and one-third with Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company at an annual effective interest rate of 8.3%.
Effective June 30, 1993 assets in the Income Fund for 1991 were
transferred to other investment programs including the Income Fund for
1993 based on participants' elections. Contributions to the Income Fund
during 1994 will be placed with Prudential at an annual effective
interest rate of 4.94%.

Participants may elect to contribute to a Current Interest Fund.  Assets
in this fund are pooled with those of TESPHE. The objective of the fund
is maximization of current income consistent with the preservation of
capital. Investments are made in debt obligations consisting of
marketable securities, domestic bank certificates of deposit, bankers
acceptances and high grade commercial paper and other money market
obligations.  The interest rate paid is variable.  Average annual
interest rates in 1993 and 1992 were 3.4% and 4.3%, respectively. The
interest income reported on the Statement of Financial Condition for the
Current Interest Fund for 1993 includes $6.5 million related to interest
included in participants' loan repayments.

Effective January 1, 1993, participants may elect to contribute to a
Bond Fund. The objective of the fund is to provide investment results
that closely correspond to the price and yield performance of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Index. The fund will be invested in a portfolio of
the Treasury notes and bonds, corporate notes and bonds and mortgage-
backed securities and other securities that, in the aggregate, typify
the securities that are included in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index.
At December 31, 1993, the fund held 3,384,290 units having a unit value
of $10.77. A small portion of the fund is invested in short-term cash  
equivalents. 

Brokerage fees applicable to Common Stock Fund investments are paid from
funds in the Common Stock Fund. The Bond Fund advisor fees are paid from
funds in the Bond Fund. The Company pays all fees associated with the
purchase and sale of Company Stock and shares of Company Stock forfeited
from participants' accounts are used to pay such fees to the extent such
shares are available.

Investment details as of December 31, 1993, are set forth in Schedule I.

    ----------------------------------

Vesting and Distributions
- - -------------------------    
Regular Savings assets, TESP assets, and assets resulting from Company
matching contributions (Company Stock and related dividend earnings) are
accumulated in annual "classes".

Effective January 1, 1989, Company matching contributions vest after
five years of Plan service.  Upon completion of five years of service,
all assets attributable to Company matching contributions held in
participants' accounts and all future contributions vest when made.  

TESP 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 TESP
accounts within the limits imposed by the Plan. Monthly loan interest
rates are based on the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal
on the last Tuesday of the preceding month.

3.  Forfeitures:
    ------------

The Plan permits the Company to use the value of Company Stock forfeited
from participants' accounts to pay Plan administration expenses and, to
the extent not used to pay such expenses, to reduce the Company's
contributions to the Plan.  During 1993, forfeited shares having a
market value of $567,000 were used to pay administrative expenses. To
the extent that forfeited shares are not available to pay administrative
expenses, the Company pays such expenses directly.

4.  Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments:
    ------------------------------------------------------------

The Plan's investments in Company Stock and the Common Stock Fund 
(including investments bought, sold, as well as held during the period)
appreciated $1,303,554,000 and $65,236,000, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 1993.  In addition, the Plan's investment in the Bond
Fund depreciated $269,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993.

6.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
    -----------------------------

Effective January 1, 1989, the Company, by action of the Board of
Directors, established within the Plan an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP). All shares of Company Stock in the Plan at any time, including
all shares allocated to participants' accounts, shares held in an ESOP
suspense account (described below), and forfeited shares are included in
the ESOP, along with other assets attributable to post-1988
contributions to the Plan.  

In 1991, the trustee of the ESOP borrowed from the Company an amount not
exceeding the estimated amount of dividends to be received on Company
Stock held by the Plan over a twenty-four month period beginning in
August, the month the loan originated.  The loan proceeds were used to
purchase shares of Company Stock at the date of the loan, for
distribution quarterly over the next two years.  The loan is payable in
eight quarterly installments beginning in September 1991. A new loan
totaling $178,119,318 was taken in August 1993 that is payable in equal
quarterly installments over a twenty-four month period beginning
September 1, 1993. 

The Company Stock shares are held in a suspense account within the Plan
until quarterly loan payments are made.  A percentage of shares
equivalent to the percentage of principal and interest paid down by the
quarterly payment are released for distribution when each quarterly
payment is made.  The Company purchases additional shares to the extent
that shares released from the suspense account are not adequate to
satisfy the requirement for dividend shares allocated to participants'
accounts.  The Plan held 2,733,148 and 1,070,378 unallocated ESOP shares
at year-end, 1993 and 1992, respectively.                              
                                        
Dividends earned on Company Stock held in the Plan generally are used to
make quarterly loan payments. If dividend cash is not available to make
the full payment, the trustee may sell shares held in the suspense
account or the Company, at its option, may elect to make additional
contributions to the Plan. If dividend cash exceeds the loan payment
amounts, the cash is used to reduce the Company's contribution for
additional share requirements. 

The following highlights certain ESOP activity for 1993:

7.   Partial Plan Transfer:
     ---------------------

Effective July 1, 1993, Ford Motor Credit Company and The American Road
Insurance Company (collectively "FMCC") participants in the Plan moved
their assets to a new savings plan administered by Fidelity Management
Trust Company ("Fidelity"). Effective October 31, 1993, Ford New Holland
Credit Company ("FNHCC") participants in the Plan moved their assets to a
new savings plan with Fidelity.              

8.  Tax Status:
    ----------

In connection with the adoption of the Plan in 1956 and in connection
with each significant amendment to the Plan, the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) has 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. 
The most recent determination of the Plan's tax qualified status was
issued by the IRS on April 3, 1986 in connection with Plan
amendments.  

9.  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 Common Stock
Fund units and Bond 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.
