DISCUSSION OF RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD

     FORD CREDIT SECOND QUARTER 1995 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
     Ford Credit's consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1995 was
$341 million, down $27 million or 7% compared with $368 million in the second
quarter of 1994.  Income from financing operations was $293 million, down $24
million or 8% from the same period a year ago.  Equity in net income of
affiliated companies, primarily Ford Holdings, Inc., was $48 million compared
with $51 million in the same period a year ago.

     Compared with results from a year ago, the decrease in financing profits
in the second quarter of 1995 primarily reflected lower net interest margins,
non-recurrence of 1994's one-time gain from the sale of Ford Credit's
minority interest in Manheim Auto Auctions Inc., higher credit losses, and

<PAGE 7>
lower gains from sale of receivables.  Higher financing volumes were a
partial offset.  The lower net interest margins reflected an increase in U.S.
portfolio borrowing rates from 5.1% to 6.7% offset partially by higher
portfolio yields on finance receivables and operating leases.  Interest
margins were adversely affected because interest rates earned on finance
receivables, including operating leases net of depreciation, were limited by
competitive pressure in automotive financing.  Credit loss performance
remains strong but losses have increased in the second quarter of 1995
compared with a year earlier.  The increase reflected higher losses per
repossessed unit and an increase in repossession rates.   The higher level of
earning assets reflected increases in operating leases, wholesale financing,
and retail installment sale receivables.

     Total gross finance receivables and net investment in operating leases
at June 30, 1995 were $90.3 billion, up $12.7 billion or 16% from a year
earlier.  The increase primarily reflected higher levels of operating leases,
wholesale receivables, and retail installment sale receivables.  Depreciation
expense on operating leases in the second quarter of 1995 was $1,256 million,
up $321 million or 34% compared with the second quarter of 1994.  The
increase reflected the higher levels of operating leases and was more than
offset by higher revenue earned from the increased volume of lease contracts.

     During the second quarter of 1995, Ford Credit financed 36.1% of all new
cars and trucks sold by Ford Motor Company dealers in the United States,
compared with 35.8% in the second quarter of 1994.  The increase primarily
reflected higher levels of operating lease and daily rental car financing. 
Ford Credit provided retail financing for 663,000 new and used vehicles in
the United States, up 6% from a year ago.  Ford Credit also provided
wholesale financing for 80.6% of Ford Motor Company factory sales to U.S. car
and truck dealers during the quarter, compared with 81.5% in the same period
a year ago.

     FORD CREDIT FIRST HALF 1995 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     For the first half of 1995, Ford Credit's consolidated net income was
$629 million, down $38 million or 6% from $667 million in the first half of
1994.  Income from financing operations was $522 million, down $40 million or
7% from the same period a year ago.  Equity in net income of affiliated
companies was $107 million compared with $105 million in 1994.  The factors
affecting financing profits during the first half of 1995 were the same as
those affecting second quarter results discussed above.  Depreciation expense
in the first half of 1995 was $2,440 million, up $696 million or 40% compared
with the first half of 1994.  The increase reflected the higher levels of
operating leases and was more than offset by higher revenue earned from the
increased volume of lease contracts.   

     During the first half of 1995, Ford Credit provided retail financing for
36.3% of all new cars and trucks sold by Ford Motor Company dealers in the
United States, compared with 37.1% in the same period a year ago.  The
decrease primarily resulted from lower levels of retail installment sale
financing, offset partially by higher levels of operating lease financing. 
Ford Credit provided U.S. retail financing for 1,235,000 new and used
vehicles compared with 1,210,000 vehicles in the first half of 1994.  Ford
Credit also provided wholesale financing for 79.2% of Ford Motor Company
factory sales to U.S. car and truck dealers during the first half of 1995,
compared with 80.1% in the same period last year.

FORD EARNS $1.6 BILLION IN QUARTER

     DEARBORN, Mich., July 19 -- Increasing market shares around
the world, along with improved profit performance in Europe and
another solid quarter in Financial Services, gave Ford Motor
Company a strong overall showing in the second quarter of 1995.

    Ford earned $1.6 billion or $1.45 per share of common and
Class B stock in the second quarter.  The results, which
represent Ford's third best second quarter ever, are up slightly
from the first quarter but down from the record level of $1.7
billion or $1.63 per share in the second quarter of 1994.  The
earnings decline reflects a decrease in U.S. automotive profits,
primarily as a result of lower unit volumes. 

    Industry sales varied by region, with a modest fall-off in
the U.S. and a small increase in Europe.  In most major regions,
however, Ford's market shares were higher, reflecting the
acceptance and success of the company's leading products.  

    "Ford's excellent market share performance tells me that,
even in uncertain economic conditions, customers are showing
preference for our company's cars and trucks," said Alex Trotman,
chairman and chief executive officer.  "Our products are
providing our customers around the globe with what they want in a
vehicle, at prices they consider to be good value."

AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS

     Net income from worldwide automotive operations was $1.1
billion in the second quarter, down $102 million from the second
quarter of 1994.  The after-tax return on sales was 3.7 percent,
down from 4.3 percent a year earlier. 

     Outside the U.S., Ford's second-quarter profits improved,
primarily because of higher earnings in Europe reflecting higher
volumes and improved margins.  Automotive operations outside the
U.S. earned $437 million in the second quarter of 1995, up
$123 million from the year-ago quarter.  In Europe, Ford earned
$319 million, up $152 million from a year earlier.

     In the U.S., increased revenue from solid market share gains
was offset by the effects of lower industry sales and dealer
inventories, as well as unfavorable exchange rate changes.  In
the U.S., Ford earned $663 million for the quarter, down $225
million from a year ago.

     Lower production, investment in major product introductions
and the continued effect of exchange rates are expected to dampen
automotive returns into the second half of this year.

     "Our worldwide automotive margins are below where we want
them to be and will continue to be under pressure, but I'm
confident we're going to fix that over time," Trotman said.  "In
the meantime, it's important to remember that our management
objectives are broader than quarter to quarter.  Our overall
strategy is focused on investing in the long-term competitiveness
and profitability of the company."

     Trotman said the business environment is becoming more
competitive each year.  "But we're up to the challenge.  We are
concentrating on driving cost out of our system, even as we
continue to invest heavily in new products and powertrains that
will stand us in good stead in the years ahead."

     Trotman stressed that the company is determined to put best-
in-class vehicles on the road, offering the features, quality and
excitement that win and retain customers.  "Our goal is to
provide great products that represent the best value a customer
can find.  And our investment in that goal today will put Ford in
an even stronger competitive position tomorrow."

     Trotman noted that the company already is enjoying success
in its objective.  "Products are the heart and soul of this
company and the product story at Ford continues to be one of
growing popularity and leadership," Trotman said.

     In the U.S., Ford continues to be the preeminent force in
trucks, holding three of the four top-selling spots through the
second quarter, including F-Series as the best-seller. 

     Ford held six of the top ten spots among all vehicles, as
well, including F-Series, Taurus, Explorer, Ranger, Escort and
Windstar.  Contour and Mystique also had their best quarter ever,
and in total Ford was up 1.2 points in combined car and truck
share.

     Ford also enjoyed overall market share success in Europe,
where combined car and truck share was 12.2 percent, up from
11.9 percent a year earlier, largely on the strength of the
Escort and Scorpio.  In Germany, Ford's share was up 1.5
percentage points for the quarter.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

     The Financial Services Group earned $472 million in the
second quarter, down $37 million from a year ago, when profits
included $31 million from the sale of Ford Credit's interest in
Manheim Auctions.  

     This was a record for any quarter at The Associates with
earnings of $173 million.  It was a record second quarter for
Ford Credit, excluding the Manheim sale a year ago, with profits
of $341 million, and a record second quarter for USL Capital,
with earnings of $30 million.

     "Our Financial Services Group had another strong profit in
the second quarter, with records set in several components,"
Trotman said.  "The Group continues to turn in impressive results
quarter after quarter."

Vehicle unit sales are reported worldwide on a "where sold"
basis and include sales of all Ford-badged units, as well
as units manufactured by Ford and sold to other manufacturers.

Second Quarter 1994 and First Half 1994 unit sales have been
restated to reflect the country where sold and to include
sales of all Ford-badged units.  Previously, factory unit
sales were reported in North America on a "where sold" basis
and overseas on a "where produced" basis.  Also, Ford-badged
unit sales of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries (primarily
Autolatina -- Brazil and Argentina) were not previously reported.
