Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors of
Ford Motor Company:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Ford Motor Company Tax-Efficient Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996.
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, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996, 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 Tax-Efficient Savings Plan for Hourly Employees as of
December 31, 1996, 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 Tax-Efficient Savings Plan for Hourly Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of the Plan:
The following description of the Ford Motor Company Tax-Efficient Savings
Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") provides only general information.
The Plan was established effective January 1, 1985. The provisions of the
Plan are governed in all respects by the detailed terms and conditions
contained in the plan agreement. 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 hourly employees of Ford Motor Company (the
"Company") and to provide them with an opportunity to become
stockholders of the Company. The Plan includes provisions for voting
shares of Company stock. It is subject to certain provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") applicable
to defined contribution pension plans.
b. Eligibility and Vesting: Hourly employees are eligible to
participate in the Plan three months after their original date of
hire. Certain other part-time and temporary employees may also be
eligible to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is
voluntary. Employees vest 100 percent immediately in the Plan.
c. Contributions: Under the Plan and subject to limits required to be
imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, participants may elect to
contribute up to 18 percent of their eligible wages. Participants may
also elect reductions in their distributions under the Company's
Profit Sharing Plan to be contributed to the Plan. Such contributions
are excluded from participants' taxable income.
d. Participant Accounts: Each participant's account is credited with
the participant's contributions and an allocation of plan earnings.
Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
defined. Plan administrative expenses are paid by the Company and
not charged to participants' accounts. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's account.
e. Distributions: Plan assets may not be withdrawn by participants until
the termination of their employment or until they reach 59-1/2, except
in the case of personal financial hardship.
<PAGE>
1. Description of the Plan, continued:
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 at
December 31, 1996, are as follows:
Participants
Ford Stock Fund 54,039
Stable Value Income Fund 27,909
Interest Income Fund 36,232
Common Stock Fund 19,926
Other 46,714
Participants may elect to contribute to the Stable Value Income Fund
which invests in contracts 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 and mature on June 30,
1998. Contributions to the Stable Value Income Fund in 1994 were
placed with the Prudential Insurance Company of America at an annual
effective rate of 4.94 percent and mature on June 30, 1997. Effective
June 30, 1996, assets in the Stable Value Income Fund for 1993 were
transferred to other investment programs including the Interest Income
Fund based on participants' elections. The Stable Value Income Fund
was eliminated as an investment option for participant contributions
effective January 1, 1996. Upon maturity of the underlying investment
contracts, participants must transfer their assets to other investment
programs.
Details of investments held at December 31, 1996 are set forth in the
Supplemental Schedule Item 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for
Investment Purposes.
g. Transfer of Assets: The Plan permits the transfer of assets among
investment programs, with certain restrictions related to transfers
to/from the Stable Value Income Fund.
h. Loans: The Plan permits loans to participants with certain
restrictions related to loans from the Stable Value Income Fund.
Monthly loan interest rates are based on the prime rate published
in The Wall Street Journal.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
a. Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Plan are
prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
<PAGE>
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
b. 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 stated at contract value, which approximates fair value.
c. Contributions: Contributions to the Plan from employees are recorded
in the period that payroll deductions are made from plan participants.
d. Payment of Benefits: Benefits are recorded when paid.
e. 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
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and
deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
f. Risks and Uncertainties: The Plan's invested assets ultimately consist
of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, and other investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such
as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk,
associated with certain investment securities and the level of
uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities,
it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near
term would materially affect participants' account balances and the
amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits.
g. Other: Purchases and sales of investment are reflected on a
trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments
are determined using specific identification.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other
investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
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 Plan's net realized
gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
those investments.
<PAGE>
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
g. Other, continued: 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 net assets at December 31, 1996
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 net assets, are combined based on investment
objective 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 1995 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
3. 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 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 quarterly distribution. Loans totaling $32,678,677 and
$2,732,687 were obtained in January 1996 and July 1996, respectively. The
January 1996 loan is payable in 8 equal quarterly installments of
$4,447,750 beginning March 1, 1996. The loan obtained in July 1996 is
payable in 6 equal quarterly installments of $483,132 beginning September
3, 1996.
The Company 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 dividend
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 627,518 unallocated ESOP shares as of December
31, 1996. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued:
5. Tax Status:
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
letter dated January 26, 1995, that the Plan and the related trust are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code"). The Plan has since been amended, however, the Plan
sponsor believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated
in compliance with the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has
been included in the Plan's financial statements.
6. 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 the continuance of investment, distribution or
withdrawal of the securities, cash and cash value of the Ford Stock Fund
units in the account of the participant as of the effective date of such
termination. There are currently no plans to terminate the Plan.
7. Other:
Differences between the data shown on pages 3 and 4 of this report and
the 1996 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.
