FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPORTS INDUSTRY-RECORD OPERATING INCOME OF $7.2 BILLION IN
1999 AND RECORD FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS OF $1.8 BILLION

DEARBORN, January 26, 2000 - Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] earned $7.2 billion
in 1999, more than any other automotive company in history, and also
established a new company record for annual revenue, which was $163 billion, up
13 percent.

"Ford had an outstanding year in 1999 by most measures and we achieved
industry-record earnings, but what truly set the company apart was our
consumer-focused business strategy," said President and CEO Jac Nasser. "We
made tremendous progress toward strengthening our brands and transforming the
way all the people of Ford connect with consumers. This holistic approach is
improving our core automotive business and enhancing shareholder value."

Ford reported full-year earnings of $7,237 million or $5.86 per diluted share
of common and Class B stock. In 1998, Ford reported earnings of $22,071 million
or $17.76 per share, including a non-cash gain of $15,955 million that resulted
from Ford's spin-off of Associates First Capital [NYSE: AFS].

Fourth-quarter 1999 earnings were $1,806 million or $1.47 per share on revenue
of $44 billion. In the fourth quarter of 1998, Ford earned $1,043 million or
84 cents per share on revenue of $38 billion. The fourth quarter of 1998
included a charge of $631 million or 51 cents per share primarily for employee
separation programs in North America, Europe and South America.

As highlights of 1999, Nasser pointed to:

o    Ford's acquisition of Volvo Car and the creation of the Premier Automotive
     Group, which is comprised of Volvo, Jaguar, Lincoln and Aston Martin, to
     drive growth in higher margin vehicle segments.
o    The acquisitions of Kwik-Fit, Automobile Protection Corporation (APCO) and
     other businesses to accelerate Ford's growth in automotive consumer
     services.

                                      -2-

o    The development of e-business partnerships with Microsoft's CarPoint,
     Oracle, TeleTech, Yahoo! (announced in January 2000)and others to better
     connect with consumers and drive operating efficiencies at Ford, among its
     dealers and with supplier companies.

Ford also launched several highly successful products, including the Ford
Focus, Mercury Sable and Ford Taurus in North America, as well as the Volvo
S40/V40, Lincoln LS, Jaguar S-TYPE and Ford Excursion. In India, Ford launched
the new IKON.

The Focus was the first vehicle to be named Car of the Year by journalists in
both North America and Europe, and the Lincoln LS was named Motor Trend's Car
of the Year.

AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
Full-year 1999 earnings from automotive operations were a record $5,721 million
on record revenue of $137 billion; after-tax return on sales (ROS) was 4.2
percent. In 1998, earnings from automotive operations were $4,752 million on
revenue of $119 billion; ROS was 4.0 percent.

Worldwide factory unit sales of 7.2 million vehicles in 1999 exceeded the
previous record of 7.0 million established in 1997. Ford also reduced its total
costs in 1999 by $1 billion at constant volume and mix, bringing total cost
reductions to more than $6 billion since 1996.

Net income from automotive operations in the fourth quarter of 1999 was a
record $1,449 million on revenue of $38 billion, compared with fourth-quarter
1998 earnings of $820 million on revenue of $32 billion.

Up-front lump-sum payments of $103 million or eight cents per share associated
with the ratification of the company's new contracts with the United Auto
Workers (UAW) and Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) unions are included in automotive
results in the North America region for the quarter.

"In North America, our momentum is very strong and our results in the region
show the fundamental strength of our brands when the products are right and the
cost is right," Nasser said. "Our results in Europe and South America are
unacceptable, but we are making product investments that will deliver more hits
such as the Ford Focus. At the same time, we are rigorously addressing costs."

                                      -3-

North America: Full-year 1999 earnings in North America were a record $6,137
million on record revenue of $100 billion; ROS was 6.2 percent. Full-year 1998
earnings in North America were $4,612 million on revenue of $87 billion; ROS
was 5.3 percent.

Fourth-quarter 1999 earnings in North America were a record $1,576 million on
record revenue of $27 billion. Fourth-quarter 1998 earnings were $1,047 million
on revenue of $24 billion. Compared with 1998, Ford's fourth-quarter 1999
earnings reflect the non-recurrence of the charge for employee separation
costs, lower costs, higher volume and a more favorable vehicle mix.

Europe: Full-year 1999 earnings in Europe were $28 million on revenue of $30
billion. Full-year 1998 earnings in Europe were $193 million on revenue of $24
billion.

Fourth-quarter 1999 results in Europe improved to a loss of $55 million on
revenue of $9 billion. Fourth-quarter 1998 results were a loss of $74 million
on revenue of $7 billion. Compared with 1998, Ford's fourth-quarter 1999
results reflect the non-recurrence of the charge for employee separation costs,
the addition of Volvo Car and lower taxes, offset by lower volumes and market
share of Ford-brand vehicles, primarily the Ka, Fiesta and Mondeo.

South America: Full-year 1999 results in South America were a loss of $452
million on revenue of $2 billion. In 1998, Ford lost $226 million in South
America on revenue of $4 billion.

Fourth-quarter 1999 results in South America improved to a loss of $95 million
on revenue of $547 million. Fourth-quarter 1998 results were a loss of $151
million on revenue of $725 million. Compared with 1998, Ford's fourth-quarter
1999 results primarily reflect lower costs and the non-recurrence of the charge
for employee separation costs, partially offset by lower revenue.

Other Markets
Full-year 1999 earnings in Ford's other markets, which include Australia,
Japan, Thailand, India and other Asia-Pacific countries, were $133 million on
revenue of $5 billion. In 1998, Ford earned $173 million in the region on
revenue of $4 billion.

Fourth-quarter 1999 earnings in the region were $23 million on revenue of $1
billion. In the same period in 1998, Ford lost $2 million on revenue of $815
million. These results reflect primarily Ford's share of the profit improvement
at Mazda Motor Corp.

VISTEON AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS
The earnings of Visteon Automotive Systems are included in the company's
automotive results. In 1999, Visteon earned $735 million, compared with $703
million in 1998.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, Visteon earned $95 million, compared with $129
million in fourth quarter of 1998. Compared with 1998, the decline in
fourth-quarter 1999 earnings reflected the impact of negotiated price
reductions, the labor agreement in North America and currency-related costs,
offset partially by cost efficiencies and improved volume.

Ford and Visteon are close to completing a market-pricing review begun in 1999
of various carry-over components and systems Ford purchases from Visteon. When
the review is completed and both parties agree to a final pricing level, it is
expected that Visteon will reduce prices to Ford.

FORD CREDIT
Full-year 1999 earnings at Ford Credit were $1,261 million up 16 percent
compared with 1998 earnings of $1,084 million. Return on equity was 11.5
percent, up 0.9 points.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, Ford Credit earned $309 million compared with
earnings of $234 million in the fourth-quarter of 1998. Compared with 1998, the
increase in fourth-quarter 1999 earnings reflects improved credit loss
performance and a higher level of finance receivables, offset partially by
higher operating costs.

HERTZ
The Hertz Corporation [NYSE: HRZ] reported its sixth consecutive year of record
earnings in 1999, and eighth consecutive year of increased earnings. Full-year
net income was $336 million, up 21 percent compared with earnings of $277
million in 1998. Ford's share of Hertz' 1999 earnings was $273 million.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, Hertz earned a record $60 million, up 26 percent
compared with earnings of $48 million in the same period a year ago. Ford's
share of Hertz' fourth-quarter 1999 earnings was $50 million.

2000 OUTLOOK AND MILESTONES
Earlier in January, Ford established financial milestones for 2000 to deliver
record earnings in North America, improve results in Europe, South America and
the rest of the world, grow total company revenue by $5 billion and reduce
total costs by $1 billion. Ford Credit's milestone is

<PAGE>

                                      -5-

to grow earnings by 10 percent while improving returns. The milestone for Hertz
is to achieve record earnings (ninth year of increased earnings). The milestone
for Visteon Automotive Systems is to achieve independence.

"We have great brands, innovative products in the market and in the pipeline,
growing financial and consumer services businesses and an e-commerce strategy
that will be a real competitive advantage. These are powerful platforms for
growth," Nasser said. "I'm proud of what the Ford team accomplished in 1999,
and our people are energized to deliver even greater value to consumers and
shareholders in 2000."
