(1) Plus such indeterminate number of additional shares as may be sold or
    delivered as the result of adjustments required by antidilution provisions.
    Pursuant to Rule 416, this Form S-8 Registration Statement shall be deemed
    to cover any additional securities issued to prevent dilution, resulting
    from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
 
(2) These shares are to be offered pursuant to options granted under the 1973,

    appreciation rights granted in respect of certain options, in which case the
    price will be the market value at the date of exercise if Ordinary Shares
    are delivered. The registration fee has been calculated in accordance with
    Rule 457(h) based upon the average of the high and low prices of the
    Corporation's Common Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
 
ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
 
     The following documents have been filed by National City Corporation (the
"Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
 
     The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993.
 
     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities than remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.
 
ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
 
     The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act.
 
ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
 
     The legality of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the
Plans has been passed upon for the Company by David L. Zoeller, Esq., Senior
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Zoeller
beneficially owns shares of Common Stock and currently exercisable options to
purchase shares of Common Stock.
 
ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") empowers a
Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is, or is threatened to
be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership joint
venture, trust or other enterprise). The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   4
 
conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify such persons in
actions brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem proper. To the
extent such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, the corporation must indemnify him against expenses (including
attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for, or
granted pursuant to, Section 145 is not exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. Section 145 also provides that a corporation may maintain insurance
against liabilities for which indemnification is not expressly provided by the
statute.
 
     Article VI of Registrant's By-Laws provides for the mandatory
indemnification of directors, officers or employees of Registrant or any of its
subsidiaries and of those persons serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise in accordance with and to the full extent
permitted by the DGCL. Registrant has purchased liability insurance covering
certain liabilities which may be incurred by the directors, officers, employees
and agents of Registrant and its subsidiaries in connection with the performance
of their duties.
 
     In addition, Registrant's Certificate, as permitted by Section 102(d) of
the DGCL, limits directors' liability to Registrant and its stockholders by
eliminating liability in damages for breach of fiduciary duty of care. Article
Seventh of Registrant's Certificate provides that neither Registrant nor its
stockholders may recover damages from Registrant's directors or former directors
for breach of their duty of care in the performance of their duties as directors
of Registrant. As limited by Section 102(b), this provision cannot, however,
have the effect of indemnifying any director or former director of Registrant in
the case of liability (a) for a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (b)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (c) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
DGCL, or (d) for any transactions for which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
             (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;
 
- ---------------
 
*All exhibits are incorporated by reference unless otherwise indicated.
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   5
 
             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events rising after
        the effective date of the Registration Statement (or in the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the Registration Statement;
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
        or any material change to such information in the Registration
        Statement;
 
        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not
        apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
        amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
        the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
        Registration Statement.
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
     (e)(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent
or given a copy of the Registrant's annual report to stockholders for its last
fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report,
in which case the Registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly
furnish, without charge, a copy of such report or written request of the
employee. If the last fiscal year of the Registrant has ended within 120 days
prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual report of the Registrant for the
preceding fiscal year may be so delivered, but within such 120-day period the
annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.
 
         (2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to transmit or cause
to be transmitted to all employees participating in the plan who do not
otherwise receive such material as stockholders of the Registrant, at the time
and in the manner such material is sent to its stockholders, copies of all
reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to its
stockholders generally.
 
         (3) In the event that a supplement or appendix is utilized by the
undersigned Registrant to update information in the prospectus, the undersigned
hereby undertakes (a) to provide participants who have already received copies
of the prospectus with a copy of any such current supplement or appendix; (b) to
furnish an additional prospectus, upon request, to any participant; (c) to
provide new participants in the plan with both the prospectus and the current
supplement or appendix, if any; and (d) to file copies of any such supplement or
appendices with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) and (c).
 
     (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the
 
                                      II-3
<PAGE>   6
 
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

             Re:  National City Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan,
     1989 Stock Option Plan, 1984 Stock Option Plan
     and 1973 Stock Option Plan
 
Gentlemen:
 
     As counsel for National City Corporation (the "Corporation"), I am
delivering this opinion in connection with the filing of Form S-8 Registration
Statement registering the sale of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock, par
value $4.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), in connection with the National City
Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan, 1989 Stock Option Plan, 1984 Stock Option
Plan, and the 1973 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans") and participations therein. I
have examined each of the Plans and such documents, records and matters of law
as I have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion, and based thereon I am
of the opinion that:
 
          1. The shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof which
     have been issued upon exercise of Option Rights granted in accordance with
     the Plans, were duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
     nonassessable;
 
          2. The shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of
     Option Rights and Appreciation Rights granted or transferred pursuant to
     the Plans will be, when issued or transferred, validly issued, fully paid
     and nonassessable so long as:
 
             (a) the consideration received or to be received by the Corporation
        is at least equal to the par value of such shares; and
 
             (b) the issuance of any newly issued shares, and the transfer of
        any treasury shares, is, prior to any such issuance or transfer, duly
        authorized; and
 
          3. The Option Rights and Appreciation Rights to be granted to eligible
     employees in accordance with such Plans will be, when granted in accordance
     with such Plan, validly issued.
 
     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Form S-8
Registration Statement filed by the Corporation to effect registration of such
shares under the Securities Act of 1933 and to the reference to me under the
caption "Legal Opinion" in the Prospectus comprising a part of such Registration
Statement.
 
                                            Very truly yours,
