Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors of
Ford Motor Company:

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits of the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for
Salaried Employees as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1994.  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 amounting 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 status of the Ford Motor Company Savings
and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the changes in its financial status for the year ended December 31,
1994, 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 Motor Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees as of
December 31, 1994, 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 audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.  Summary of Significant 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, primarily guaranteed Insurance Contracts, are at cost as required by
statement of position 94-4.  Investments in the Current Interest Fund are
carried at current 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 Changes in Net Assets Available for
Plan Benefits 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.

Certain amounts in the previously issued 1993 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

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

The Plan became effective February 1, 1956.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information. 
The provisions of the Plan are governed in all respects by the detailed
terms and conditions contained in the Plan itself.  Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

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.

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

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 eli-
gible to participate in the Plan.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary.

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.

During 1993, Company matching was at the rate of $.50 per dollar of par-
ticipants' 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, and one transfer each month for qualifying Company matching
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 in each program in
December 1994, are as follows:

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 Savings 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, 1994 and 1993, 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 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 1994 were placed
with Prudential Insurance Company of America at an annual effective rate of
4.94%.  The Income Fund in 1993 was placed with Lehman Government
Securities, Inc. at an annual effective rate of 5.49%.  The Income Fund in
1992 was placed with Prudential Insurance Company of America at an annual
effective 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, 1994 assets
in the Income Fund for 1991 were transferred to other investment programs
including the Income Fund for 1994 based on participants' elections. 
Contributions to the Income Fund during 1995 will be placed with John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company at an annual effective interest rate
of 8.07%.

2.        Description of the Plan, continued:
          -----------------------
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 or
commingled funds holding these types of securities.  The interest rate paid
is variable.  Average annual interest rates in 1994 and 1993 were 4.2% and
3.4%, respectively. The interest income reported on the Statement of
Financial Condition for the Current Interest Fund for 1994 includes $7.0
million related to interest included in participants' loan repayments.

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.  Units of the fund held by the Plan at December 31, 1994
and 1993 and their per unit value are shown in Note 6.  A small portion of
the fund is invested in short-term cash equivalents. 

Brokerage fees applicable to Common Stock Fund, the Bond Fund, and the
Current Interest Fund are paid by the applicable fund.  The Bond Fund
advisor fees are paid by the Bond Fund. The Company pays all fees
associated with the purchase and sale of Company Stock.  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, 1994, 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".

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 1994, forfeited shares having a market value of
$336,938 were used to pay administrative expenses. To the extent that
forfeited shares are not available to pay administrative expenses, the
Company pays such expenses.

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

The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund.  The
Plan's investments in Company Stock and the Common Stock Fund  (including
investments bought, sold, as well as held during the period) depreciated  
$527,086,000 and $4,965,829, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1994. The Plan's investment in the Bond Fund depreciated $3,869,332 for the
year ended December 31, 1994.

7.        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.

7.        Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Continued
          -----------------------------
 
A loan totaling $178,119,318 was obtained in August 1993 from the Company. 
It is payable in eight equal quarterly installments beginning September 1,
1993.  Additional loans were obtained in April 1994, payable in seven equal
quarterly installments beginning June 1, 1994, and October 1994, payable in
five equal quarterly installments beginning December 1, 1994 for
$15,917,486 and $16,176,267, respectively.  All loan proceeds were used to
purchase shares of Company stock for distribution quarterly.  All
outstanding balances will be paid during 1995.  

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
3,498,650 and 2,733,148 unallocated ESOP shares as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
                                                                       
Cash dividends earned on Company Stock held in the Plan generally are used
to make quarterly loan payments. If 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

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

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service that it is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code and that the related trust is tax-exempt under Section 501 of
the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, the trust's net investment income
is exempt from income taxes.  The Plan sponsor believes that the Plan, as
amended, continues to qualify and to operate as designed.

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.  There are currently no plans to terminate the Plan.

10.  Other
     -----

Differences between the data shown on pages 3 through 5 of this report and
the 1994 Form 5500 filed with the Department of Labor are principally
attributable to adjustments made by the plan administrator to conform the
financial statements to the accrual basis of accounting.  Included in the
withdrawal of participant's accounts on the Form 5500 but not shown in the
Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits is $22,683,169 of funds
requested but not yet distributed to the employees as of December 31, 1994.
