FORD'S FIRST QUARTER OPERATING EARNINGS UP 20 PERCENT TO RECORD $1.8 BILLION;
12TH QUARTER OF IMPROVEMENT
DEARBORN, Mich., April 15, 1999 -- Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] today reported
record first quarter operating earnings of $1,814 million, or $1.46 per diluted
share of common and Class B stock, up $300 million or 20 percent on a comparable
basis. This marks Ford's twelfth consecutive quarter of year-over-year
improvement in operating earnings.
Reported first quarter earnings, which include a one-time gain of $165 million
on the dissolution of AutoEuropa, Ford's joint venture with Volkswagen AG in
Portugal, were $1,979 million, or $1.60 per share, up $465 million. The
operating results of Volvo Cars will not be reflected in Ford's financial
results until the second quarter of 1999.
Ford's reported first quarter earnings in 1998 were $17,646 million, or
$14.23 per share. Comparable first quarter 1998 results were $1,514 million, or
$1.22 per share. This excludes $177 million of earnings from Associates First
Capital [NYSE: AFS], the one-time non-cash gain of $15,955 million resulting
from The Associates spin-off, and an earnings-per-share reduction of seven cents
resulting from the premium paid to repurchase Ford's Series B preferred stock.
"The Ford team is energized and focused, and we were determined to make a fast
start in 1999," said Jacques A. Nasser, president and chief executive officer.
"In a few short months, thanks to a tremendous team effort, we completed the
acquisition of Volvo Cars, created the Premier Automotive Group to drive the
growth of our premium brands, recruited several talented executives to the
company and announced our intention to acquire Kwik-Fit, Europe's largest
vehicle maintenance and light repair chain. We followed this up with record
earnings. The best news for our consumers and shareholders is that the
transformation of Ford is really just getting started."

AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS: Ford's operating earnings from worldwide automotive
operations were $1,486 million, up $251 million, or 20 percent, from the same
period a year ago. Ford's reported automotive earnings, which include the
$165 million AutoEuropa gain, were $1,651 million, up $416 million. Worldwide
automotive revenues in the first quarter of 1999 were a record $31,933 million,
up 10 percent compared with a year ago. After-tax return on sales improved
nine-tenths of a point to 5.2 percent.
Automotive cash was $23.5 billion at the end of the quarter, up $2.2 billion
from a year ago. Net cash was $12 billion, down $1.1 billion. The decline was
more than explained by the first installment payment for the acquisition of
Volvo Cars. Total automotive costs declined by $100 million at constant volume
and mix in the first quarter. Ford's full-year milestone is to reduce total
costs by $1 billion compared with 1998.
Strong consumer acceptance of the company's products has been driving
profitability, and the coming six months will see a number of important vehicle
introductions, including the second quarter launch of the Jaguar S-Type in North
America and Europe. Product launches in North America also include the Lincoln
LS and Ford F-650/750 commercial trucks in the second quarter, and the Ford
Taurus, Mercury Sable, Ford Focus and Ford Excursion in the second half.
North America: Automotive operations earned $1,588 million in the first quarter
of 1999, up $578 million from the same period a year ago. After-tax return on
sales was 6.6 percent, up 1.6 points. Ford's full-year milestone for North
America is to achieve an after-tax return on sales greater than 5 percent.
Total vehicle sales in the United States set a new first quarter record, with
the annual selling rate increasing from 15.3 million units in 1998 to
16.9 million units in 1999. Ford's sales were strong across the board, with
light trucks up 20 percent and retail car sales up 10 percent. In response to
the strong consumer demand, Ford recently increased its second quarter
production by 10,000 cars and 20,000 trucks.
Europe: Ford broke even in the first quarter of 1999 on an operating basis,
compared with earnings of $230 million a year ago. Ford's reported first quarter
1999 earnings in Europe, which include the AutoEuropa gain, were $165 million.
The results reflect, in part, lower volumes and higher fixed marketing costs for
brand awareness and product launches. Ford's 1999 milestone for Europe is to
grow earnings compared with 1998.
<PAGE>
-3-
Overall, the vehicle market in Europe continues to be strong, and the Ford Focus
continues to gain momentum. Ford has now delivered about 200,000 Focus models to
consumers in Europe, including 60,000 units in March alone.
South America: Ford lost $165 million in the first quarter of 1999, compared
with a loss of $45 million in the same period a year ago. Ford's full-year
milestone for South America is to improve operating results, but given the
adverse economic environment in the region, the company does not presently
expect to achieve its goal.
FORD CREDIT: Ford Credit earned $300 million in the first quarter of 1999, up
$22 million, or 8 percent, compared with the first quarter of 1998. The earnings
growth reflects higher financing volumes, improved credit loss performance and
lower taxes, offset partially by higher depreciation expense on leased vehicles.
Ford Credit is on track to meet its 1999 full-year milestone to grow earnings by
10 percent compared with 1998.
VISTEON AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS: In the first quarter of 1999, Visteon earned
$208 million, up 10 percent compared with the same period a year ago, and won
future new business contracts expected to generate revenues of $700 million
annually. Visteon's full-year 1999 milestone is to grow earnings and win
$2 billion in new business contracts. Visteon's earnings are included in the
company's automotive results.
HERTZ: The Hertz Corporation [NYSE: HRZ] reported record first quarter earnings
of $49 million, up $14 million, or 38 percent, from the same period a year ago.
Ford's share of Hertz' first quarter earnings was $40 million in 1999 and
$29 million in 1998.
* * * * *
"Record first quarter earnings give us a strong platform to continue to deliver
great products and services to our consumers and great returns to our
shareholders," Nasser said.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
(unaudited)
1. Financial Statements - The financial data presented herein are unaudited,
but in the opinion of management reflect those adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of such information. Results for interim periods should
not be considered indicative of results for a full year. Reference should
be made to the financial statements contained in the registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K (the "10-K Report") for the year ended December 31,
1998. For purposes of Notes to Financial Statements, "Ford" or the
"Company" means Ford Motor Company and its majority owned subsidiaries
unless the context requires otherwise. Certain amounts for prior periods
are reclassified, if required, to conform with present period
presentations.
Accounting Changes
------------------
In the first quarter of 1999, we adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use". This SOP requires entities to capitalize certain
internal-use software costs once certain criteria are met. Our practice has
been to expense the costs of obtaining or developing internal-use software
as incurred.
Beginning in 1999, we changed from an accelerated method to the
units-of-production method for special tooling amortization. This change is
being made to recognize that special tooling retains its value more
uniformly over time and more closely aligns tooling amortization with
vehicle production volumes, and provides a better matching of costs and
revenues.
Also beginning in 1999, we modified our plant and equipment retirement
policy to reflect gains and losses in income in the year of retirement.
Previously, the cost of retired assets, net of salvage proceeds, was
charged to accumulated depreciation. The plant and equipment retirement
change in accounting principle is being made to better reflect the results
of asset disposal/sale decisions.
Adoption of these changes did not have a material effect on our financial
statements.
2. Selected Automotive costs and expenses are summarized as follows (in
millions):
First Quarter
------------------
1999 1998
---- ----
Depreciation $746 $680
Amortization 572 718
Dissolution of AutoEuropa Joint Venture - Effective January 1, 1999, our
joint venture for the production of minivans with Volkswagen AG in Portugal
(AutoEuropa) was dissolved resulting in a $255 million pre-tax gain
($165 million after-tax).
3. Purchase of AB Volvo's Worldwide Passenger Car Business - On
March 31, 1999, we purchased AB Volvo's worldwide passenger car business
"Volvo Car" for approximately $6.45 billion. The acquisition price
consisted of a cash payment of approximately $2.0 billion on
March 31, 1999, a deferred payment obligation to AB Volvo of approximately
$1.6 billion due March 31, 2001, and existing Volvo car automotive-related
net indebtedness of approximately $2.9 billion.
In addition to the cash payment to Volvo, as of March 31, 1999,
approximately $1.0 billion was paid to reduce automotive indebtedness and
for acquisition-related costs. Most of the remaining automotive
indebtedness was repaid on April 12, 1999. The purchase price payment and
automotive debt repayments were funded from our cash reserves.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The assets purchased,
liabilities assumed and the results of operations of Volvo Car will be
included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis beginning in
the second quarter of 1999. Our investment in Volvo Car at March 31, 1999
is included in Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies.
4. Purchase of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc - On April 12, 1999, we announced that we
had reached an agreement with the board of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc
("Kwik-Fit") for a cash tender offer of all the outstanding capital stock
of Kwik-Fit, Europe's largest independent car maintenance and repair
company.
Our offer price is (pound)5.60 (approximately the equivalent of $9.05) per
share, or an aggregate of (pound)1,008 million (approximately the
equivalent of $1.6 billion).
Our offer is contingent on receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and
acceptances from holders of at least 90% of the outstanding shares of
Kwik-Fit. The directors of Kwik-Fit have unanimously recommended that
Kwik-Fit shareholders accept our offer.

5. Spin-off of The Associates - On March 2, 1998, the Board of Directors of
the Company approved the spin-off of The Associates by declaring a dividend
on Ford's outstanding shares of Common and Class B Stock consisting of
Ford's 80.7% interest (279.5 million shares) in The Associates. The Board
of Directors also declared a dividend in cash on shares of Company stock
held in U.S. employee savings plans equal to the market value of The
Associates stock to be distributed per share of the Company's Common and
Class B Stock. Both the spin-off dividend and the cash dividend were paid
