FOR RELEASE AT 7 A.M. (EASTERN DAYLIGHT)
FORD EARNS $2.1 BILLION IN FIRST QUARTER;
NEW RECORDS FOR OPERATING EARNINGS, REVENUES
DEARBORN, Mich., April 17, 2000 -- Ford Motor Company [ NYSE: F ] earned a
record $2.1 billion in the first quarter, or $1.70 per diluted share of common
and Class B stock, and posted the 16th consecutive quarter of improved
year-over-year operating results. The results compare with first-quarter
earnings in 1999 of $2 billion, or $1.60 per diluted share, which included a
one-time gain of $165 million, or 14 cents a share, from the dissolution of
AutoEuropa. Excluding AutoEuropa, first-quarter earnings rose $265 million or
15 percent.
"Our earnings momentum is as strong as ever," said Jacques A. Nasser, president
and chief executive officer. "We are transforming our car and truck business,
and we have positioned the company for profitable growth in financial services,
automotive consumer services, Hertz, and e-business. We have a strong product
line-up, and as the year unfolds, important new products will continue to be
introduced in North America and Europe. In addition, the independence of
Visteon will only accelerate our transformation."
On April 14, Ford announced that the goal to make Visteon Corporation an
independent company would be realized through a 100 percent distribution of
stock to Ford shareholders, expected to be completed by this summer.
<PAGE>
-2-
Visteon's earnings are now reported separately and are treated as a
discontinued operation in Ford Motor Company's financial statements.
"An independent Visteon will be a stronger competitor in a growing industry
segment," Nasser said, "and at the same time it will allow us at Ford to focus
even more strongly on our car and truck business."
Excluding Visteon, first-quarter revenues were a record $43 billion, up $5
billion or 14 percent over the first quarter of 1999. Unit sales were a record
1.9 million, compared with 1.8 million a year ago. Luxury vehicle sales, also a
record, were 190,000, an increase of 50 percent from a year ago.
AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS: Excluding Visteon, Ford's earnings from worldwide
automotive operations were $1.6 billion, up $271 million or 21 percent from the
same period a year ago, excluding the sale of AutoEuropa. Worldwide automotive
revenues in the first quarter were a record $36 billion, up 14 percent compared
with a year ago. After-tax return on sales was 4.3 percent, up two-tenths of a
point from last year's first quarter, excluding AutoEuropa.
Automotive cash was $23 billion at the end of the quarter, virtually unchanged
from the same period last year. Net cash was $12 billion, up $450 million from
a year ago.
New products coming later this year include the Ford Escape sport utility, the
Volvo S60, a new Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer and a new Mondeo in
Europe.
<PAGE>
-3-
North America: Automotive operations in North America, excluding Visteon,
earned a record $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2000, up $288 million from
the same period a year ago. After-tax return on sales was 6.2 percent, up
four-tenths of a point. "The real driver behind our North American results is
the strong demand for hit products," Nasser said. "And more will be coming," he
added. "At the same time, our automotive business structure continues to
transform. Total costs are down $6 billion in three years, and the acquisitions
of Volvo, Kwik-Fit, and the planned acquisition of Land Rover have strengthened
and broadened our consumer focus," Nasser said.
Total vehicle sales in the United States set a new first-quarter record of 1.2
million cars and trucks. Strong sales were aided by the new Ford Focus, Ford
Taurus, Ford F150 SuperCrew, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Sport, Jaguar
S-Type and the Volvo 70.
Other Markets: In Europe, South America and other overseas markets, Ford lost
$115 million, about even with last year's first quarter.
FORD CREDIT: Ford Credit earned $353 million in the first quarter, up $53
million or 18 percent in the first quarter of 1999. Return on equity was 12.7
percent, up 1.4 points from a year ago. Ford Credit is on track to meet its
full-year financial milestones to increase earnings by 10 percent and improve
returns.
HERTZ: The Hertz Corporation [ NYSE: HRZ ] earned a record $56 million in the
first quarter, up $7 million or 14 percent. Ford Motor Company's share of
Hertz' first-quarter earnings was $46 million.
<PAGE>
-4-
DELIVERING SHAREHOLDER VALUE: On April 14, Ford Motor Company also announced a
Shareholder Value Enhancement Plan that offers Ford shareholders new Ford
shares and a choice of accepting $20 per share in cash or additional new Ford
shares equivalent to the cash value. "This plan reflects our transformational
thinking," Nasser said, "as well as our strong earnings and cash flow. It also
underscores management's confidence and our commitment to delivering superior
shareholder value over time."

(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,
1999. For purposes of this report, "Ford", the "Company", "we", "our",
"us" or similar references means Ford Motor Company and its majority owned
subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Certain amounts for
prior periods were reclassified to conform with present period
presentation.
2. Discontinued Operation - On April 13, 2000, the Ford Board of Directors
approved a plan for the complete separation of Visteon Corporation from
Ford by means of a tax-free spin-off in the form of a dividend on Ford
Common and Class B Stock consisting of all shares of Visteon Common Stock.
Specific record and distribution dates will be established after
Securities and Exchange Commission clearance. Consistent with this
approved plan and to aid in comparisons, our financial statements reflect
Visteon's reported net income and net assets as a "discontinued operation"
for all periods shown.
Visteon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford, is a global provider of
integrated systems, modules and components to automotive manufacturers and
other automotive suppliers. Visteon operates in three business segments:
Comfort, Communication & Safety; Dynamics & Energy Conversion; and Glass.

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) in the first quarter of 1999.
4. Acquisitions
Purchase of AB Volvo's Worldwide Passenger Car Business ("Volvo Car")-
On March 31, 1999, we purchased Volvo Car for approximately $6.45
billion. The acquisition price consisted of a cash payment of
approximately $2 billion on March 31, 1999, a deferred payment
obligation to AB Volvo of approximately $1.6 billion due March 31,
2001, and Volvo Car automotive net indebtedness of approximately $2.9
billion. Most automotive indebtedness was repaid on April 12, 1999.
The purchase price payment and automotive debt repayments were funded
from our cash reserves.
Purchase of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc - During the third quarter of 1999,
we completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Kwik-Fit
Plc ("Kwik-Fit"). Kwik-Fit is Europe's largest independent vehicle
maintenance and light repair chain, with over 1,900 outlets in the
United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe. The acquisition
price was approximately $1.6 billion and consisted of cash payments
of approximately $1.4 billion and loan notes to certain Kwik-Fit
shareholders of approximately $0.2 billion, redeemable beginning on
April 30, 2000 and on any subsequent interest payment date. The
purchase price payments were funded from our cash reserves.
Assuming these two acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 1999, Ford
Automotive unaudited pro forma revenue for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1999 would have been $35.2 billion. Net income and earnings per
share for this period would not be materially affected.

5. Income Per Share of Common and Class B Stock - Basic income per share of
Common and Class B Stock is calculated by dividing the income attributable
to Common and Class B Stock by the average number of shares of Common and
Class B Stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for
shares issuable under employee savings and compensation plans.
The calculation of diluted income per share of Common and Class B Stock
takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as
stock options.
Income per share of Common and Class B Stock from continuing operations
was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
