REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Boards of Directors of
Ford Motor Company and
Ford Motor Credit Company:

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits of the Ford Credit Savings Plan as of December  31, 1995 and 1994, and
the related Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits for
the year ended December  31, 1995.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's sponsor.  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 audits 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Ford
Credit Savings Plan as of December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December  31, 1995 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
Credit Savings Plan 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 fund information in the Statements of Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets and changes in net assets for each fund.
The supplemental schedules and fund information 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
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FORD CREDIT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     a. INVESTMENTS:  The investment in the Ford Stock Fund, representing shares
        of Ford Motor Company Common Stock ("Company Stock") and other
        investments, and the investments in all other funds except the Income
        Fund are valued on the basis of established year-end market prices.
        Investments in the Income Fund are stated at contract value which
        approximates market.

     b. LOANS:  The Ford Credit Savings Plan (the "Plan") includes provisions
        allowing participants to apply for and receive a loan from the Plan in
        an amount not exceeding in the aggregate (a) the value, at any time of
        any such loan, of the securities, cash (except any amount credited to a
        participants income fund subaccount), and cash value of investments in
        his or her before-tax savings account that are attributable to
        before-tax savings contributions made on his or her behalf and that the
        member shall have designated to be used to provide the amount of the
        loan; (b) 50 percent of the value of all assets credited to the member's
        account under the Plan, excluding unvested Company matching
        contributions, or (c) $50,000.  The interest rate of the loan is based
        on the prime rate at the time the loan is granted. The entire amount of
        the loan and the related interest must be repaid not later than 60
        months after the month in which the loan is effective.

     c. CONTRIBUTIONS:  Contributions to the Ford Credit Savings Plan (the
        "Plan") from employees and from Ford Motor Credit Company (the "Company"
        or "Ford Credit") are recorded in the period that payroll deductions are
        made from plan participants.

     d. OTHER:  Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date
        basis.  Gains and losses on sales of securities are based on identified
        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.

     e. ESTIMATES:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
        generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
        date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
        expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
        estimates.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

     The Plan became effective July  1, 1993. At that date, assets relating to
     employees of Ford Credit, who previously participated in the Ford Motor
     Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees (" Ford
     SSIP") were transferred into the Plan.

     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.

     a.  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 Ford Motor Company.  The Plan
         includes provisions for voting shares of Company Stock.

     b.  ELIGIBILITY:  With certain exceptions, regular full-time salaried
         employees having at least 12 months of continuous service are eligible
         to participate in the Plan.  Certain other part-time and temporary
         employees may also be eligible to participate in the Plan.
         Participation in the Plan is voluntary.

     c.  CONTRIBUTIONS:  The Plan has both before-tax and after-tax
         savings components.  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 percent with a corresponding
         contribution, defined below, made to the Plan by the Company on their
         behalf.  Subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code,
         participants may also contribute up to 10 percent 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.

         All of the Company matching contributions are invested in shares of
         Ford Motor Company stock.

         For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company matched 100
         percent of each dollar contributed up to 4 percent of each
         participant's base salary.  In addition to the 100 percent match, the
         Company matched 50 percent of the next 4 percent of each contributing
         participant's base salary.

    d.   TRANSFER OF ASSETS:  The Plan permits the transfer of assets
         among investment elections, with certain restrictions related to
         transfers from the Income Fund, as described below.

     e.   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 approximate number of participants in each program in December
          1995 and 1994 were as follows:

</TABLE>

          At December  31, 1995 and 1994, approximately 6,500 and 6,200
          participants, respectively, had assets in the Plan.

          Participants may elect to contribute to an Income Fund placed with an
          insurance company or bank.  The insurance company or bank agrees to
          repay the principal and a stipulated rate of interest over a specified
          time period.  Contributions to the Income Fund may not be transferred
          to other funds until the contract expires.  Contributions to the 1995
          Income Fund were placed with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
          at an annual effective interest rate of 8.07 percent. Contributions to
          the Income Fund in 1994 were placed with Prudential Insurance Company
          of America ("Prudential") at an annual effective interest rate of 4.94
          percent. Contributions to the Income Fund in 1993 were placed with
          Lehman Government Securities, Inc. at an annual effective interest
          rate of 5.49 percent.  Contributions to the Income Fund in 1992 were
          placed with Prudential at an annual effective interest rate of 7.03
          percent. Effective June  30, 1995, assets in the Income Fund for 1992
          were transferred to other investment programs, including the Income
          Fund for 1995 based on participants' elections.   Participants may not
          take out a participant loan against money in the Income Fund.
          Participants in the Income Fund may not withdraw from this fund before
          expiration of the contracts unless the participant is no longer
          employed by Ford Credit.

          The "Other" column in the Statement of Plan Assets Available for Plan
          Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Plan Assets Available for
          Plan Benefits is comprised of plan assets invested in the Asset
          Manager Fund, Contrafund and Puritan Fund.  Investment details as of
          December  31, 1995 are set forth in Supplemental Schedule I - Item
          27a  - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, CONTINUED:

     f.  VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS:  Before-tax assets, after-tax assets
         and assets resulting from Company matching contributions (Ford Stock
         Fund) are accumulated in annual "classes."

         Effective July  1, 1993, Company matching contributions vest 25 percent
         after 2 years of plan service and an additional 25 percent after the
         completion of each of the subsequent 3 years of plan service.  Upon
         completion of 5 years of service, all assets attributable to Company
         matching contributions held in participants' accounts and all future
         contributions vest when made.

         Before-tax 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.


3.   FORFEITURES:

     The Plan permits the Company to use the value of the units in the Ford
     Stock Fund forfeited from participants' accounts to pay certain plan
     administration expenses and, to the extent that these amounts are not used
     to pay such expenses, to reduce the Company's contributions to the Plan. To
     the extent that the forfeited amounts are not readily available to pay
     certain administrative expenses, the Company pays such expenses directly.
     For the periods January  1, 1995 through December  31, 1995 and January 1,
     1994 through December 31, 1994, participant forfeitures amounted to
     approximately $35,000 and $24,000, respectively.  The forfeitures have not
     been applied to the administrative expenses of the Plan.  The costs of
     administering the Plan are being absorbed by Ford Credit.


4.   TAX STATUS:

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
     letter dated December 13, 1995, that the Plan and the related trust are
     designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
     Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter
     in order to comply with the stipulations of the determination.


5.   PLAN TERMINATION:

     The Plan was merged with the Ford SSIP on January 2, 1996.  At that time,
     the Ford Credit Savings Plan assets were transferred to the Ford SSIP and
     the employees of Ford Credit began participating in the Ford SSIP subject
     to the terms of the Ford SSIP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


5.   PLAN TERMINATION, CONTINUED:

     Ford Motor Company, by action of the Board of Directors, may terminate the
     Ford SSIP at any time.  Termination of the Ford SSIP would not affect the
     rights of a participant as to (a)  the continuance of investment,
     distribution or withdrawal of the investments held 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.


6.   ASSET VALUE PER FUND UNIT:

     The number of units, and the asset value per unit, in the Plan's
