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, 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 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 net assets available for benefits of the plan
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
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 Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
as of December 31, 1995 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.  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
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees

Notes to Financial Statements

   1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     a. Investments:  The investment in the Ford Stock Fund and
        the investments in all other funds except the Stable
        Value Income Fund are valued on the basis of established year-
        end market prices.  Investments in the Stable Value Income Fund,
        primarily fixed rate insurance contracts, are at cost which
        approximates market.
          
     b. 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.
          
    c.  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
        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 the reported amounts of
        revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
        could differ from those estimates.
          
     d. Other:  Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-
        date basis.  Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined
        using specific identification.
          
        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 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.
          
        The Ford Stock Fund, the Stable Value Income Fund, the Interest
        Income Fund and the Common Stock Fund, which each represent five
        percent or more of plan assets at December 31, 1995 are presented
        separately in the statement of changes in net assets available for
        plan benefits.  Other funds, which each represent less than five
        percent of plan assets, are combined based on investment objectives
        into the Income Funds, the International Funds, the Asset Allocation
        Funds, the Growth Funds and the Growth and Income Funds.
      
        Certain amounts in the previously issued 1994 financial statements
        have been reclassified to conform with the current year
        presentation.

   2.   Description of the Plan:

        The Plan was established 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.
   
        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
           the Company.  The Plan includes provisions for voting shares of
           Company Stock.
          
        b. 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.
          
        c. 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
           percent.  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 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.
          
           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 percent 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 Program are not subject to Company
           match.
          
        d. Transfer of Assets:  The Plan permits the transfer of assets among
           investment elections, with certain restrictions related to transfers
           to/from the Stable Value Income Fund.  Transfers from the Ford Stock
           Fund may be restricted based on vesting requirements relating to
           company matching contributions in Ford Stock.

2. Description of the Plan

     e.   Loans:  The Plan permits loans to participants with certain
          restrictions related to loans from the Stable Value Income Fund.
          
     f.   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
          1995, are as follows:
          
     
                                                           Participants
                                                           ------------
   
            Ford Stock Fund                                    51,338
            Stable Value Income Fund                           25,062
            Interest Income Fund                               31,838
            Common Stock Fund                                  24,789
            Other                                              25,522

        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 Stable
        Value Income Fund in 1995 were placed with the John Hancock Mutual
        Life Insurance Company at an annual effective interest rate of 8.07
        percent.  Contributions to the Stable Value Income Fund in 1994 were
        placed with the Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential")
        at an annual effective interest rate of 4.94 percent.  Contributions
        to the Stable Value Income Fund in 1993 were placed with Lehman
        Government Securities, Inc. at an annual effective interest rate of
        5.49 percent.  Contributions to the Stable Value Income Fund in 1992
        were placed with Prudential Insurance Company of America at an annual
        effective interest rate of 7.03 percent.  Effective June 30, 1995,
        assets in the Stable Value Income Fund for 1992 were transferred to
        other investment programs including the Stable Value Income Fund for
        1995 based on participants' elections.  The Stable Value Income Fund
        will no longer be an investment option beginning January 1, 1996.
          
        Investment details as of December 31, 1995 are set forth in
        Supplemental Schedule I - Item 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for
        Investment Purposes.
         
     g. Vesting and Distributions:  Regular savings assets, TESP assets
        and assets resulting from company matching contributions (Ford
        Stock Fund) 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.

     2.   Description of the Plan, continued:

     g. Vesting and Distributions, continued:  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.
          


    3.   Forfeitures:
          
         The Plan permits the Company to use the Ford Stock Fund units
         forfeited by participants to pay plan administration expenses and,
         to the extent not used to pay such expenses, to reduce the Company's
         future contributions to the Plan.  To the extent that forfeited
         units are not available to pay certain administrative expenses,
         the Company pays such expenses directly.  For the year ending
         December 31, 1995, participant forfeitures amounted to approximately
         $169,000.
          
         In 1995, the Plan paid administrative expenses of approximately
         $900,000 dollars through the use of participant forfeitures.
          


   4.   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 and 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.
          
         The Plan obtained loans from the Company to purchase shares of
         company stock for  distribution  quarterly.  A loan totaling
         $178,119,318 was obtained in August 1993. It was payable in 8 equal
         quarterly installments beginning September 1, 1993.  In 1994, loans
         were obtained in April, payable in 7 equal quarterly installments
         beginning June 1, 1994 and October, payable in 5 equal quarterly
         installments beginning December 1, 1994, for $15,917,486 and
         $16,176,267, respectively.  In 1995, loans were obtained in April,
         payable in 3 equal quarterly installments beginning June 1, 1995 and
         October, payable in one installment on December 1, 1995 for
         $15,517,224 and $3,906,491, respectively.
          
         All outstanding balances were paid as of December 31, 1995.

     4.   Employee Stock Ownership Plan, continued:

        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 trustee 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 unallocated ESOP shares as of
        December 31, 1994.  There were no unallocated ESOP shares as of
        December 31, 1995.
   
        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 Plan.  If 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:

   6. Tax Status:

      The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
      Revenue Service that it qualifies 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 taxes.  The plan sponsor believes that the Plan, as
      amended, continues to qualify and operate as designed.

 7.   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 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.
   

 8.   Other:

      Differences between the data shown on pages 3 and 4 of this report and
      the 1995 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.
   


 9.   Subsequent Events:

      In January 1996, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan loan totaling
      $250,755,942 was obtained from Ford Motor Credit Company.  It is payable
      in eight equal quarterly installments beginning March 1, 1996.
   
      In January 1996, The Ford Motor Credit Savings Plan merged with Ford
      Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees.
