                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors of
Ford Motor Company


In our opinion,  the  accompanying  statement of net assets  available  for plan
benefits  and the  related  statement  of changes in net  assets  available  for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for
benefits  of the Ford  Motor  Company  Savings  and Stock  Investment  Plan (the
"Plan") at December 30, 1999 and 1998,  and the changes in net assets  available
for plan  benefits  for the year ended  December 30, 1999,  in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management;  our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these  statements in accordance with auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States,  which 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,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our audits  provide a reasonable  basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The additional  information  included in
Schedules I and II is presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis and is
not a  required  part  of the  basic  financial  statements  but  is  additional
information  required by the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").  These  supplemental  schedules are the  responsibility of the Plan's
management.  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.

          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.

          Type and purpose of the plan
          The Plan is a defined  contribution  plan established to encourage and
          facilitate  systematic  savings and  investment  by eligible  salaried
          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.

          Eligibility
          With certain  exceptions,  regular  full-time  salaried  employees are
          eligible to participate in the Plan twelve months after their original
          date of hire. Certain other part-time and temporary employees also may
          be eligible to participate in the Plan.  Participation  in the Plan is
          voluntary.

          Contributions
          The Plan has both a Pre-Tax  Program and an After-Tax  Program.  Under
          the Plan and subject to limits  required to be imposed by the Internal
          Revenue Code, participants may elect a reduction in their pre-tax base
          salary up to 15%.  Participants  may also  elect  reductions  in their
          distributions under the Company's  Performance Bonus Plan and Flexible
          Compensation   Account   program.   A   contribution   in  an   amount
          corresponding to each reduction is made by the Company on their behalf
          to the Plan. Such  contributions  are excluded from the  participants'
          taxable income and are classified as Company  contributions  on behalf
          of employees.  Subject to limitations  imposed by the Internal Revenue
          Code, participants may also contribute up to 10% of their base monthly
          salaries  to  the  Plan  on  an  after-tax   basis.   These  after-tax
          contributions are classified as employee contributions. The investment
          programs are the same for all savings contributions.

          Effective  January 1,  1994, the Company began matching at the rate of
          $.60 for each dollar of contributions up to 10% of participants'  base
          salaries.  All Company matching contributions are invested in the Ford
          Stock Fund.  Contributions to the Pre-Tax Program from the Performance
          Bonus Plan and Flexible  Compensation Account Program are not eligible
          for the Company match.

   1.   Description of the Plan (continued)

          Participant accounts
          Each   participant's   account  is  credited  with  the  participant's
          contributions  and allocations of (a) the  Company's  contribution and
          (b) 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.  Per the plan
          agreement, certain fund options charge redemption fees on transfers of
          funds which are paid by the  participants.  These  redemption fees are
          charged to the individual  participant  account fund assets.  The fees
          totaled  approximately  $173,000  and  $119,000  for  the  year  ended
          December 30,   1999  and  for  the  period  January 1,   1998  through
          December 30, 1998, respectively. The benefit to which a participant is
          entitled is the benefit  that can be provided  from the  participant's
          vested account.

          Vesting and distributions
          Pre-Tax Program assets,  After-Tax Program assets and assets resulting
          from Company  matching  contributions  (Ford Stock Fund) are accounted
          for separately.

          Company matching contributions vest five years after the original date
          of hire. At that time,  all assets  attributable  to Company  matching
          contributions  held in participants'  accounts become vested,  and all
          future contributions vest when they are made.

          Pre-Tax Program assets may not be withdrawn by participants  until the
          termination of their employment or until they reach age 59-1/2, except
          in the case of personal financial hardship.

          Investment options and participation
          Participant   contributions   are  invested  in  accordance  with  the
          participant's  election in one or more of several investment  options.
          The types of investment  options,  and the number of  participants  in
          each option at December 30, 1999, are as follows:

     1.   Description of the Plan (continued)

          Investment options and participation (continued)
          The  Interest  Income  Fund is a  broadly  diversified,  stable  value
          investment  fund.  The Interest  Income Fund invests in a  diversified
          portfolio of fixed income securities,  including  investment contracts
          with  insurance  companies  and other  organizations.  During 1999 and
          1998,  the  Plan  entered  into  five  benefit-responsive   investment
          contracts  with various  companies.  The contracts are included in the
          financial  statements at their contract values as reported to the Plan
          by the  companies.  There is no immediate  recognition  of  investment
          gains and losses on the fixed income securities.  Instead, the gain or
          loss is  recognized  over time by adjusting the interest rate credited
          to the fund under the contracts.

          There were no reserves  against  contract value for credit risk of the
          contract  issuer or otherwise  during 1999 or 1998.  The average yield
          and crediting  interest  rates were  approximately  5.73% for 1999 and
          6.4% for  1998.  The  crediting  interest  rate is based on a  formula
          agreed  upon  with  the  issuer,  but may not be less  than  0%.  Such
          interest rates are reviewed on an annual basis for resetting.

          The Common  Stock  Fund is a broadly  diversified,  passively  managed
          equity fund administered by Comerica Bank. Fund assets are invested in
          stocks through a series of Comerica Bank commingled pools.

          Details of investments  held as of December 30,  1999 are set forth in
          Schedule I - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes.

          Transfer of assets
          The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment options, with
          certain restrictions related to transfers from the Stable Value Income
          Fund.

          Loans
          The Plan permits  loans to  participants  from both their  Pre-Tax and
          After-Tax Program accounts 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.

     1.   Description of the Plan (continued)

          Forfeitures and plan administration expenses
          The Plan permits the Company to use assets  forfeited by  participants
          to pay plan administrative expenses and, to the extent not used to pay
          such expenses,  to reduce the Company's  future  contributions  to the
          Plan.  To the extent that  forfeited  assets are not  available to pay
          certain  administrative  expenses,  the  Company  pays  such  expenses
          directly. Participant forfeitures amounted to approximately $1,430,000
          and $1,306,000 for the year ended December 30,  1999 and the plan year
          1998,  respectively,  of which approximately  $1,960,000 and $496,000,
          respectively, were used to pay plan administrative expenses.

          Employee stock ownership plan
          The Plan operates,  in part, as a leveraged  employee stock  ownership
          plan (ESOP) and is designed  to comply with  Section  4975 (e) (7) and
          the  regulations  thereunder of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
          amended  (Code)  and is subject to the  applicable  provisions  of the
          Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

          The Plan purchased  Company common shares using the proceeds of a loan
          from  the  Company  and  held  the  shares  in an ESOP  trust  account
          established  under the Plan. The borrowings are to be repaid quarterly
          over the period ended December 3, 2001.

          As the Plan makes each payment of principal, an appropriate percentage
          of stock will be allocated to eligible employee  accounts.  The shares
          vest fully upon allocation.  The borrowings are  collateralized by the
          unallocated shares of stock.

     2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          Basis of accounting
          The financial  statements  of the Plan are prepared  under the accrual
          method of accounting.

          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.

          Contributions
          Contributions  to the Plan from  employees  and from the  Company  and
          participating  subsidiaries  (as defined in the Plan) are  recorded in
          the period that payroll deductions are made from plan participants.

          Payment of benefits
          Benefits are recorded when paid.

     2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

          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.

          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.

          Other
          Purchases  and sales of  investments  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.

     3.   Investments

          The following  present  investments  that  represent 5% or more of the
          Plan's net assets.

     4.   Plan Amendment

          During 1999, the Plan was amended to reduce the participation  waiting
          period from twelve months after the original date of hire to the first
          day  of the  second  month  following  the  date  of  hire,  effective
          January 1,  2000. The Company matching  contributions,  however,  will
          continue to be provided  after twelve months of service.  The Plan was
          also amended to permit  participants to contribute up to 25% of salary
          on either or both a pre-tax or  after-tax  basis,  effective  April 1,
          2000.

          During 1998 Plan year,  the year-end was amended from  December31  to
          December 30.  The Plan was also amended to give the Board of Directors
          authority to establish and vary the maximum rate for Company  matching
          contributions under the Plan without shareholder approval.

     5.   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, and forfeited shares 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  allocation.  The following  summarizes  the loans
          taken out by the Plan:

     5.   Employee Stock Ownership Plan (continued)

          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. As of December 30, 1999 and 1998,
          the share activity is as follows:

          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.

     6.   Tax Status

          The Internal  Revenue  Service has determined and informed the Company
          by letter dated December 13, 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.

     7.   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  (a)   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,  or  (b) continuance of vesting of
          such   securities   and  cash   attributable   to   Company   matching
          contributions  or earnings  thereon.  There are  currently no plans to
          terminate the Plan.

     8.   Other

          Differences between the data shown on pages 2 and 3 of this report and
          the 1998 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.

          On March 2,  1998, the Board of Directors of the Company  approved the
          spin-off  of  all  of  the  Company's  80.7  percent  interest  in the
          Associates First Capital Corporation (the "Associates") by declaring a
          dividend  on the  Company's  outstanding  shares of Common and Class B
          stock.  The Board of  Directors  also  declared a dividend  in cash on
          shares of  Company  stock held in  employee  savings  plans.  The cash
          distribution  was  equal  on a per  share  basis  to the  value of the
          Associates  stock  that was  distributed  to Ford  Common  and Class B
          stockholders, i.e., $22.12 for each share of Company stock owned as of
          the record date. Both the spin-off dividend and the cash dividend were
          paid on April 7, 1998 to stockholders of record on March 12, 1998.

          Participants with assets in the Ford Stock Fund under the Plan had the
          option to take all or part of the cash distribution out of the Plan in
          cash.  They also could elect to reinvest  all or a portion of the cash
          distribution in the Plan's investment  options,  except the Associates
          Stock Fund or the Stable Value  Income Fund.  If no election was made,
          the cash  distribution  was invested  according  to the  participant's
          asset allocation at the close of the market on March 11, 1998.

          $1,643,056,165 of the amount of the cash distribution  attributable to
          the Ford  Stock  Fund  under the Plan was  invested  in the Ford Stock
          Fund, $670,227,982 was invested in other Plan options and $228,450,819
          was paid out in cash directly to Plan participants.

          During the period between the record date and the  distribution  date,
          participants'  Ford Stock Fund account balances under the Plan did not
          include the value of the cash  distribution.  Following payment of the
          cash  distribution,  the Ford Stock Fund held a much  higher  level of
          short-term   cash   instruments   until  the   proceeds  of  the  cash
          distribution   could  be   reinvested  in  Ford  Common  Stock  in  an
          expeditious and prudent manner.

          As of March 3,  1998, the  Associates  Stock Fund became a "sell-only"
          fund, and after December 31, 1999, was closed.

     9.   Subsequent Events

          During April 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company  approved the
          Value Enhancement Plan. This plan allows Ford shareholders to exchange
          their  current  Ford common and Class B shares for new Ford common and
          Class B  shares.  In  addition,  shareholders  will  have the right to
          receive either $20 cash per share or the equivalent  value in new Ford
          common shares or a combination of cash and new Ford shares.  The total
          cash  distribution  will be limited  to $10  billion.  This  action is
          subject  to review  by the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and
          shareholder approval. This plan is expected to be completed during the
          summer of 2000.

          In addition,  during April 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company
          also approved an independence plan for Visteon Corporation whereby the
          Company will  distribute  its 100%  interest in Visteon to Ford common
          and Class B shareholders.  Shareholders will receive a distribution of
          Visteon stock on June 28, 2000 based on the number of Ford shares they
          own and the  total  number  of Ford  shares  outstanding  on June  12,
          2000.The Board of Directors also declared a dividend in cash on shares
          of the Company's stock held in certain  employee  savings plans.  This
          cash distribution will be equal, on a per share basis, to the value of
          Visteon stock to be distibuted to other shareholders.
