FORD EARNS $6.6 BILLION BEFORE CHARGES IN 1998, UP 10 PERCENT
Momentum Continues with 11th Consecutive Quarter of Improved Operating Earnings

DEARBORN, January 21, 1999 -- Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] earned $5,939 million
in 1998, or $4.72 per diluted common and Class B share, excluding earnings from
The Associates [NYSE: AFS] and the gain that resulted from Ford's spin-off of
that company. Excluding these and other one-time factors, Ford's operating
earnings were $6,570 million, up $582 million, or 10 percent on a comparable
basis; earnings per share were $5.30 per share, up $0.44 per share.

"The transformation of Ford continued to gain momentum in 1998," said Jacques
Nasser, president and chief executive officer. "Our quality is the best it has
ever been, we improved our operating efficiency and our products continue to be
well received by customers. As a result, we were able to achieve our eleventh
consecutive quarter of improved operating earnings.

"We delivered a total return to investors of 89 percent, which placed the
performance of Ford stock in the top quartile of S&P 500 companies for the
second year in a row," Nasser added. "Maintaining this level of performance for
shareholders over time is one of our financial milestones. To continue to
deliver, we know we must increase our consumer focus, strengthen our brands,
provide the best total value to consumers, develop leaders at all levels of the
company and be responsible in corporate citizenship."

Ford's 1998 operating earnings of $6,570 million exclude previously announced
one-time charges for employee separation programs and asset write-downs totaling
$631 million ($0.51 per share), earnings from The Associates of $177 million
($0.14 per share), the one-time gain resulting from The Associates spin-off of
$15,955 million ($12.90 per share) and a one-time earnings per share reduction
($0.07) for the premium paid to repurchase Ford's Series B preferred stock.

Ford's reported 1997 earnings were $6,920 million ($5.62 per share). Comparable
1997 operating results were $5,988 million ($4.86 per share). This excludes
Ford's share of earnings of The Associates, which were $832 million ($0.68 per
share), and a net gain of $100 million ($0.08 per share) for one-time actions.

FOURTH QUARTER 1998

Ford reported earnings of $1,043 million ($0.84 per share) in the fourth quarter
of 1998. Excluding one-time charges, Ford earned $1,674 million ($1.35 per
share) -- Ford's eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year operating
improvement. Net income for the fourth quarter of 1997, excluding The
Associates, was $1,572 million ($1.27 per share).

AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS

Reported full-year 1998 earnings from automotive operations were $4,752 million.
Excluding one-time charges, earnings were $5,377 million, up $494 million.
Ford's reported automotive after-tax return on sales (ROS) was 4 percent in
1998. Excluding one-time charges, ROS was 4.6 percent, up 0.6 points.

For the full-year, total costs were down $2.2 billion at constant volume and
mix. This exceeded Ford's full-year milestone, which was to lower total costs by
$1 billion.

Reported net income from automotive operations in the fourth quarter of 1998 was
$820 million. Excluding one-time charges, earnings were $1,445 million, up
$104 million. Reported ROS was 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Excluding one-time charges, ROS was 4.5 percent, up 0.3 points.

North America: Reported full-year 1998 automotive earnings in North America were
$4,612 million. Excluding one-time charges of $363 million, earnings were
$4,975 million, up $416 million. Reported full-year ROS was 5.3 percent. Ford's
full-year 1998 milestone was to earn a 5 percent ROS in North America. Excluding
charges, ROS was 5.8 percent, up 0.6 points.

The earnings improvement for the full year was driven by improved quality, lower
costs and favorable product mix, offset partially by higher marketing costs and
the fourth quarter charges.

                                        -3-

Reported fourth quarter 1998 automotive earnings in North America were
$1,047 million. Excluding one-time charges, earnings were $1,410 million, up
$57 million. Reported ROS in North America was 4.5 percent. Excluding charges,
ROS was 6.0 percent, up 0.1 points.

"In 1998, Ford posted its best retail sales in the United States in 20 years,
and all-time U.S. sales records at Ford Division and Jaguar," Nasser said. "Our
outlook for 1999 is for another strong U.S. market. We expect industry volumes
will range between 15 million and 15.5 million units, the sixth year in a row of
industry volumes greater than 15 million units."

Europe: Reported full-year earnings for Europe in 1998 were $193 million.
Excluding charges of $137 million, earnings were $330 million, up $13 million.
Ford's 1998 full-year milestone was to be profitable. Ford's 1999 full-year
milestone for Europe is to grow earnings.

Ford reported a loss of $74 million in the fourth quarter of 1998. Excluding
charges, Ford earned $63 million, down $95 million from a year ago. The decline
in fourth quarter earnings reflects lower volumes, lower export sales and launch
costs for the Ford Focus, offset partially by cost reductions.

"We are determined to improve our results in Europe by continuing to lower our
costs, improve our quality and grow the business with new vehicles such as the
Ford Focus," said Nasser. "The Focus, which is now in production, has received
numerous accolades for its styling, packaging, value and driving dynamics, and
was named European Car of the Year."

South America: Reported full-year 1998 results in South America were a loss of
$226 million. Excluding charges of $81 million, full-year automotive results
were a loss of $145 million, down $185 million. Ford disclosed in the third
quarter that it did not expect to achieve its milestone of breaking even in
South America in 1998 as a result of significantly lower volumes. In Brazil,
Ford's largest market in the region, industry volumes in 1998 were down about
20 percent from 1997.

In the fourth quarter of 1998, Ford reported a loss of $151 million in South
America. Excluding charges, Ford lost $70 million, up $1 million from the prior
year.

"Economic and market conditions in Brazil continue to be difficult," Nasser
said. "For 1999, we have established a milestone of improving our operating
results in South America, but we are not expecting to be profitable there."

Visteon: The earnings of Visteon Automotive Systems, Ford's automotive
components enterprise, are included in the company's automotive results. In
1998, Visteon reported earnings of $712 million, up $194 million, or 37 percent,
from 1997. In the fourth quarter of 1998, Visteon earned $132 million, compared
with $48 million a year ago. Visteon's milestone for 1999 is to grow its
earnings and obtain $2 billion in new business.

FORD CREDIT

Reported earnings in 1998 were $1,084 million, up $53 million or 5 percent,
which was below the 1998 milestone of achieving 10 percent earnings growth.
Excluding charges of $6 million, earnings were $1,090 million, up $59 million.
The increase in full-year earnings reflects improved credit loss performance,
lower taxes and higher financing volumes, offset partially by higher
depreciation expense on leased vehicles.

In the fourth quarter of 1998, Ford Credit reported earnings of $234 million,
up 7 percent. Excluding charges, earnings were $240 million, up $22 million 
or 10 percent.

"We believe Ford Credit can improve on the earnings momentum it showed in the
fourth quarter and achieve its 1999 full-year milestone of 10 percent earnings
growth," Nasser said.

HERTZ

The Hertz Corporation [NYSE: HRZ] reported its fifth consecutive year of record
earnings and seventh consecutive year of increased earnings. Net income was
$277 million in 1998, up 37 percent, compared with earnings of $202 million in
1997.  Ford's share of Hertz' 1998 earnings was $224 million.

In the fourth quarter of 1998, Hertz earned a record $48 million, up 37 percent
compared with earnings of $35 million in the same period a year ago. Ford's
share of Hertz' fourth quarter 1998 earnings was $39 million. The Hertz
1999 full-year milestone is for the company to deliver record earnings.
