            Corporation (formerly First Nationwide Financial
            Corporation)("Granite"), which in turn is a wholly-owned
            subsidiary of Ford.  The transaction was completed on
            September 30, 1994.

            The Company recognized in First Quarter 1994 earnings a
            pre-tax charge of $475 million and an after-tax charge of
            $440 million related to the disposition of Granite,
            reflecting the non-recovery of goodwill and reserves for
            estimated losses on assets to be retained or repurchased
            by Granite.  These assets will be liquidated over time as
            market conditions permit.  The tax effect of this
            transaction takes into account differences between the
            book and tax basis of certain assets for which deferred
            taxes were not required to be provided under Statement of
            Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
            "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The Company's income
            statement includes the results of operations of Granite
            through March 31, 1994.  The net assets of Granite at
            September 30, 1994 are included in the balance sheet under
            Financial Services - Other Assets.  Historically, Granite
            (including the Bank) has not had a significant effect on
            Ford's operating results.

5.          Income Taxes
            ------------
            On August 10, 1993 the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
            of 1993 was enacted in the U.S.  Among other changes, the
            Act increased the federal income tax rate for corporations
            by one percentage point to 35% effective January 1, 1993. 
            Net income in the third quarter of 1993 included a
            reduction of $140 million in the provision for income
            taxes as a result of restating U.S. deferred tax balances. 
            The favorable effect reflected the higher tax rate applied
            to net deferred tax assets in the U.S.

6.          Stock Split
            -----------
            On April 14, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors
            declared a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock
            dividend on the Company's Common Stock and Class B Stock. 
            The stock split became effective June 6, 1994, and share
            data have been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock
            split.

7.          Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
            ------------------------------------
            Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No.
            115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
            Equity Securities".  Accordingly, the purchases and sales
            of trading securities are included in cash flows from
            operating activities.  Financial statements for the prior
            period were not restated.

8.          Acquisition of The Hertz Corporation
            ------------------------------------
            On March 8, 1994, Ford purchased from Commerzbank
            Aktiengesellschaft, a German bank, additional shares of
            common stock of Hertz aggregating 5% of the total
            outstanding voting stock, thereby bringing Ford's
            ownership of the total voting stock of Hertz to 54% from
            49%.  On April 29, 1994, Ford acquired 20% of Hertz'
            common stock from Park Ridge Limited Partnership, and
            Hertz redeemed the common stock (26%) and preferred stock
            of Hertz owned by AB Volvo for $145 million; these
            transactions resulted in Hertz becoming a wholly-owned
            subsidiary of Ford.  In addition, a $150 million
            subordinated promissory note of Hertz held by Ford Credit
            was exchanged for $150 million of preferred stock of
            Hertz.  Hertz' earnings included in Financial Services
            results for the third quarter and nine months ended
            September 30, 1994 were $61 million and $88 million
            respectively, compared with $19 million and $22 million
            included in Automotive results for the same periods a year
            ago (reflecting Ford's prior equity interest in Hertz).

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Motor Company

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor
Company and Subsidiaries at September 30, 1994 and the related
consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the period set forth in Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information
consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February
1, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations
         -------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  THIRD QUARTER 1994 COMPARED WITH
THIRD QUARTER 1993

Overview
- --------
Ford Motor Company earned $1,124 million, or $1.04 per share
of Common and Class B Stock, in the third quarter of 1994. 
This compares with $463 million, or $0.40 per share, in the
third quarter of 1993.  Fully diluted earnings per share
were $0.93 in the third quarter of 1994, compared with $0.38
a year ago.  The Company's worldwide sales and revenues were
$30.6 billion, up $6.1 billion from a year ago.  Worldwide
factory unit sales of cars and trucks were 1,526,000, up
220,000 units or 17%.  Stockholders' equity was $20 billion
at September 30, 1994.

In August 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act was
enacted in the United States.  Ford's results in the third
quarter of 1993 were favorably affected by a reduction of
$140 million in the provision for income taxes to reflect
restatement of deferred tax balances.

On June 6, 1994, a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100%
stock dividend on the Company's outstanding Common and Class
B stock became effective.  Earnings per share for prior
periods have been restated to reflect the stock split.

Automotive Operations
- ---------------------
Ford's worldwide Automotive operations earned $601 million
in the third quarter of 1994 on sales of $24.9 billion,
compared with earnings of $72 million on sales of
$20.1 billion a year ago.

In the U.S., Ford's automotive operations earned
$578 million, compared with $333 million a year ago.  The
improvement reflected higher unit volume (as a result of
higher truck sales) and improved margins offset partially by
the non-recurrence of the favorable one-time effect in 1993 
of tax legislation in the U.S. ($171 million).

In the third quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual
selling rate for the U.S. car and truck industry was
14.8 million units compared with 13.9 million in the third
quarter of 1993.  Ford's car market share was 21.0% in the
third quarter of 1994, down 9/10 of a point from a year ago,
reflecting primarily lower shares for Tempo and Topaz. 
Ford's truck share was 31.2%, equal to a year ago.  Ford's
combined car and truck share was 25.2%, down 5/10 of a point
from a year ago.

Outside the U.S., Automotive operations earned $23 million
in the third quarter of 1994, compared with a loss of
$261 million a year ago.  The improvement reflected
primarily higher unit volume in Europe, where Automotive
operations (excluding Jaguar) earned $25 million in the
third quarter of 1994, compared with a loss of $217 million
a year ago.

In the third quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual
selling rate for the European car and truck industry was
13.1 million units, compared with 12.7 million a year ago. 
Ford's car share was 12.6% in the third quarter of 1994, up
2/10 of a point from a year ago.  Ford's truck share was
14.3%, equal to a year ago.

Ford and Volkswagen are conducting a joint study of their
Autolatina joint venture, which has operations in Brazil and
Argentina.  Since it was formed in 1987, the joint venture
has been a successful and profitable participant in these
volatile markets.  Recent industry volume growth in Brazil
and Argentina, however, has resulted in somewhat lower
Autolatina market shares -- primarily because of capacity
limitations and increased competitive actions.  The joint
study is to determine how best to respond to protect the
interests of both Ford and Volkswagen, but no agreement has
been reached on a course of action.  It is not known at this
time what effect, if any, actions that may result from the
joint study will have on Ford's future earnings. 
Historically, Autolatina has represented a significant
portion of Ford's automotive earnings outside the U.S.
and Europe.

                            -10-

Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
The Company's Financial Services operations earned
$523 million in the third quarter of 1994, compared with
$391 million in the third quarter of 1993.  The increase
resulted primarily from improved results at Ford Credit, The
Associates, and USL Capital, consolidation of results for
Hertz, non-recurrence of losses at Granite Management
Corporation (formerly First Nationwide) ("Granite") and non-
recurrence of the one-time unfavorable effect in 1993 of tax
legislation in the U.S. ($31 million).

Ford Credit's consolidated net income was $315 million in
the third quarter of 1994, compared with $275 million a year
ago, and included income from its financing operations and
its equity in the net income of affiliated companies,
primarily Ford Holdings.  Ford Credit's financing operations
earned $254 million in the third quarter of 1994, compared
with $222 million a year ago.  The improvement reflected
higher levels of earning assets, lower credit losses, and
non-recurrence of the one-time adjustment in 1993 for
increased U.S. tax rates, partially offset by lower net
interest margins and the non-recurrence of a gain from the
sale of receivables.  In addition, international operations
managed by Ford Credit earned $62 million in the third
quarter of 1994, compared with $57 million a year ago.

The Associates earned $151 million in the U.S. in the third
quarter of 1994, compared with  $121 million a year ago. 
The increase reflected higher levels of earning assets and
improved net interest margins.  In addition, international
operations managed by The Associates earned $17 million in
the third quarter of 1994, compared with $2 million a year
ago.

USL Capital earned $27 million in the third quarter of 1994,
compared with $16 million a year ago.  The increase
reflected higher earning assets and lower operating costs. 
American Road earned $14 million in the third quarter of
1994, compared with $27 million in the same period in 1993. 
The decrease resulted primarily from reduced investment
income.

In the first half of 1994, Ford acquired the remaining
common stock of Hertz, and Hertz became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ford.  Financial Services results included
Hertz earnings of $61 million in the third quarter of 1994. 
Automotive results included Hertz earnings of $19 million a
year ago (reflecting Ford's prior equity interest in Hertz).

On April 14, 1994, an agreement was entered into for the
sale of substantially all of the assets of Granite Savings
Bank (formerly First Nationwide Bank) to First Madison Bank,
referred to in the second through fourth paragraphs on page
10 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 1994 (the "First Quarter 10-Q
Report").  The transaction was completed on September 30,
1994.  In the third quarter of 1993, Granite incurred a loss
of $7 million.          


FIRST NINE MONTHS 1994 COMPARED WITH FIRST NINE MONTHS 1993

Overview
- --------
Ford earned $3,739 million, or $3.50 per share of Common and
Class B Stock, in the first nine months of 1994.  Results
included a charge to net income of $440 million related to
the sale of Granite Savings Bank to First Madison Bank
(discussed above).  In the first nine months of 1993, the
Company earned $1,810 million, or $1.62 per share, including
the favorable one-time effect ($140 million) of tax
legislation in the U.S.  Fully diluted earnings per share
were $3.13, compared with $1.51 a year ago.  The Company's
worldwide sales and revenues were $94.8 billion in the first
nine months of 1994, up $14.1 billion from a year ago. 
Worldwide factory unit sales of cars and trucks were
5,001,000, up 488,000 or 11%.

                                -11-
<PAGE>
Automotive Operations
- ---------------------
Ford's worldwide Automotive operations earned $2,739 million
in the first nine months of 1994, compared with $643 million
in first nine months of 1993.  In the U.S., Ford's
Automotive operations earned $2,320 million, compared with
$813 million a year ago.  The improvement reflected higher
unit volume (as a result of higher industry sales) and
improved margins.

In the first nine months of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted
annual selling rate for the U.S. car and truck industry was
15.2 million units, compared with 14 million a year ago. 
Ford's car share was 21.4% in the first nine months of 1994,
down 8/10 of a point from a year ago.  The decline from a
year ago reflected lower shares for Tempo and Topaz.  Ford's
truck share was 30.2%, equal to a year ago.  Ford's combined
car and truck share was 25%, down 3/10 of a point.  For the
full year, Ford projects U.S. industry sales of about
15.5 million cars and trucks in 1994, compared with
14.2 million units in 1993.

Outside the U.S., Automotive operations earned $419 million
in the first nine months of 1994, compared with a loss of
$170 million a year ago.  The improvement reflected
primarily higher unit volume, lower manufacturing costs, and
improved margins in Europe.  Ford's European Automotive
operations (excluding Jaguar) earned $377 million in the
first nine months of 1994, compared with a loss of
$264 million a year ago.

In the first nine months of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted
annual selling rate for the European car and truck industry
was 13.2 million units, compared with 12.5 million units a
year ago.  Ford's car share was 12.0%, up 2/10 of a point
from a year ago.  Ford's truck share was 14.6%, equal to a
year ago.  For the full year, Ford projects European
industry sales of about 13.3 million units in 1994, compared
with 12.5 million units in 1993.

Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
The Company's Financial Services operations earned
$1,000 million in the first nine months of 1994, compared
with $1,167 million in the first nine months of 1993.  The
decline was more than explained by the charge to net income
of $440 million related to the sale of Granite Savings Bank. 
Higher earnings at Ford Credit, The Associates, USL Capital,
and the consolidation of results for Hertz were partial
offsets.

Ford Credit's consolidated net income was $982 million in
the first nine months of 1994, compared with $896 million a
year ago.  Net income from financing operations was
$816 million, compared with $756 million a year ago.  The
improvement reflected primarily the same factors as those
described in the discussion of third quarter results of
operations, as well as the one-time effect of the gain on
sale of an interest in Manheim Auctions (an auto auction
company).  International operations managed by Ford Credit
earned $175 million in the first nine months of 1994,
compared with $154 million a year ago.

The Associates earned $400 million in the U.S. in the first
nine months of 1994 compared with $343 million a year ago. 
The increase reflected higher levels of earning assets and
improved net interest margins.  In addition, international
operations managed by The Associates earned $56 million in
the first nine months of 1994, compared with $22 million a
year ago.

USL Capital's net income in the first nine months of 1994
was $75 million, compared with $53 million a year ago.  The
increase reflected higher earning assets and lower operating
costs.  American Road earned $44 million in the first nine
months of 1994, compared with $67 million a year ago.  The
decrease resulted primarily from reduced investment income,
partially offset by improved underwriting experience in
extended service plans.

Hertz earnings of $88 million in the first nine months of
1994 were included in Financial Services results.  Earnings
of $22 million a year ago were included in Automotive
results (reflecting Ford's prior equity interest).

                         -12-
<PAGE>
Granite incurred a loss of $484 million in the first nine
months of 1994, including a charge of $440 million related
to the sale of Granite Savings Bank.  Granite incurred a
loss of $42 million in the first nine months of 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Automotive Operations
- ---------------------
Cash and marketable securities of the Company's Automotive
operations were $13.9 billion at September 30, 1994, up
$4.1 billion from December 31, 1993.  The amount of cash and
marketable securities is expected to decline during the
fourth quarter because of normal new-model changeover and
launch and higher capital spending (discussed below).  The
Company paid $869 million in cash dividends on its Common
Stock, Class B Stock, and Preferred Stock during the first
nine months of 1994.

Automotive capital expenditures were $5.9 billion in the
first nine months of 1994, compared with $4.7 billion a year
ago.  The rate of automotive capital spending is projected
to increase during the fourth quarter as a result of
increases in both product and non-product spending.  The
higher product spending reflects a record pace of new-model
introductions, while non-product spending reflects efforts
to improve efficiency and quality and increase capacity for
selected components and vehicles.

Automotive debt at September 30, 1994 totaled $7.2 billion,
which was 26% of total capitalization (stockholders' equity
and Automotive debt), compared with $7.9 billion, or 33% of
total capitalization, at year-end 1993.  The decrease in
total debt is primarily the result of lower levels of short-
term borrowings.

At September 30, 1994, Ford had long-term contractually
committed credit agreements in the U.S. under which $5.9
billion is available from various banks at least through
June 30, 1999.  The entire $5.9 billion may be used, at
Ford's option, by either Ford or Ford Credit.  As of
September 30, 1994, these facilities were unused.

Outside the U.S., Ford has additional long-term
contractually committed credit-line facilities of
approximately $2.5 billion.  These facilities are available
in varying amounts from 1994 through 1999; less than 1% was
used at September 30, 1994.

Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
Financial Services' cash and investments in securities
totaled $8.4 billion at September 30, 1994, down
$2.4 billion from December 31, 1993.  The decline reflected
primarily the reclassification of Granite's net assets to
"other assets" as a result of the sale.

Net receivables and lease investments were $124.8 billion at
September 30, 1994, up $5.3 billion from December 31, 1993. 
The increase reflected continued growth in earning assets at
Ford Credit and The Associates, offset partially by the
reclassification of Granite's net assets.

Total debt was $119.1 billion at September 30, 1994, up
$15.1 billion from December 31, 1993.  The increase resulted
from higher debt levels required to finance growth in
earning assets at Ford Credit and The Associates, as well as
the consolidation of Hertz; the reclassification of
Granite's net assets was a partial offset.

At September 30, 1994, Financial Services had approximately
$33.3 billion of support facilities available for use in the
U.S. (including $5.9 billion of Ford bank lines that may be
used by Ford Credit at Ford's option), 98% of which were
contractually committed; less than 1% of these facilities
were in use at that date.  An additional $20.5 billion of
support facilities were available outside the U.S., 46% of
which were contractually committed; approximately
$6.1 billion of these support facilities were in use at
September 30, 1994.
