Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This will refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") that is being filed by Ford Motor Company (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
with respect to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1 per share,
of the Company ("Common Stock"), relating to the Company's Tax-Efficient
Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan").

         As Secretary and Assistant General Counsel of the Company, I am
familiar with the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the 
Company and with its affairs, including the action taken by the Company in
connection with the Plan.  I also have examined such other documents and 
instruments and have made such further investigation as I have deemed
necessary or appropriate in connection with this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

         (1)  The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         (2)  All necessary corporate proceedings have been taken to
authorize the issuance of the shares of Common Stock being registered under
the Registration Statement, and all such shares of Common Stock acquired by
the Trustee under the Plan in accordance with the Plan will be legally
issued fully paid and non-assessable when the Registration Statement shall
have become effective and the Company shall have received therefor the
consideration provided in the Plan (but not less than the par value
thereof).

         I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.A to the
Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am
in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission issued
thereunder.

                                     Very truly yours,

                                     John M. Rintamaki
