IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FORD REPORTS 2nd QUARTER NET PROFIT OF $417 MILLION, ON TRACK FOR FULL YEAR


* Second quarter net income of $417 million, or 22 cents a share.

* Automotive cash, marketable securities, loaned securities and VEBA
  assets of $28.7 billion - up $3.4 billion from year-end 2002.

* Achieved more than $1.9 billion* in automotive cost performance
  improvement during first half of 2003 - more than triple the company's full 
  year target.

DEARBORN, Mich., July 16 - Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) today reported net
income of $417 million, or 22 cents a share, for the second quarter of 2003.

This compares with net income of $570 million, or 29 cents a share, in the
second quarter of 2002.

Ford had pre-tax profits of $718 million during the second quarter of 2003,
compared with pre-tax profits of $1 billion in the second quarter of 2002.

During the first half of 2003, Ford had pre-tax profits of $2.1 billion, 
compared with pre-tax profits of $1 billion during the same period a year ago.

Second quarter 2003 revenue declined to $40.7 billion from $42.2 billion in the
second quarter of 2002. Worldwide vehicle unit sales in the 2003 second quarter
were 1,717,000, down about 7 percent from 1,854,000 a year ago.

"Our second quarter financial performance and our achievements in the past 18
months since we announced our Revitalization Plan demonstrate that we are
delivering the results that are needed to keep the company solidly on track,"
said Bill Ford, chairman and CEO. "We remain committed to our product-led
Revitalization Plan, and we are moving ahead as promised with an exciting lineup
of new vehicles coming to market - the first of which is the new Ford F-150
pickup, arriving in dealerships very soon."

AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

On a pre-tax basis, Ford's worldwide automotive sector reported a profit of $3
million during the second quarter of 2003, compared with earnings of $403
million a year ago.

Worldwide automotive revenue declined by $1 billion from $35.2 billion during
the second quarter of 2002 to $34.2 billion in the second quarter of 2003.

Automotive cash, marketable securities, loaned securities and Voluntary Employee
Beneficiary Association (VEBA) assets at June 30 rose to $28.7 billion, up from
$26.6 billion at the end of the first quarter, and up from $25.3 billion at the
end of 2002.

NORTH AMERICA AUTOMOTIVE

North America Automotive reported a profit of $445 million on a pre-tax basis,
compared with a pre-tax profit of $921 million in the second quarter of 2002.
The decline reflected lower production volume and lower net pricing, offset
partially by strong cost performance.

North America Automotive revenue in the second quarter of 2003 was $20.7
billion, down about 10 percent from $23.1 billion in the second quarter of 2002.
North America vehicle unit sales were down 12.5 percent in the second quarter of
2003 when compared with the second quarter of 2002.

INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE

The 2003 second-quarter pre-tax loss for International Automotive was $411
million, compared with a loss of $371 million during the second quarter of 2002.

Second-quarter 2003 revenue for International Automotive increased to $13.5
billion, compared with $11.8 billion during the second quarter last year.

Ford Europe: Ford Europe incurred a pre-tax loss of $525 million in the second
quarter of 2003, compared with a pre-tax loss of $18 million during the same
period a year ago. The decline in earnings is primarily explained by lower net
pricing, unfavorable mix, lower industry volume and dealer stock reductions,
offset partially by improved cost performance and market share. Ford Europe's
revenue in the second quarter rose 6 percent to $5.2 billion, compared with $4.9
billion during the second quarter of 2002.

Ford South America: The pre-tax loss for Ford South America narrowed to $69
million during the second quarter from a loss of $198 million during the second
quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting favorable exchange (largely the
non-recurrence of currency devaluation a year ago), improved net pricing and
market share. Revenue in South America was $435 million in the second quarter,
compared with $426 million in the second quarter of 2002.

Ford Asia-Pacific: During the second quarter of 2003, Ford Asia-Pacific incurred
a pre-tax loss of $28 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $53 million in
the 2002 second quarter. The improvement reflected favorable net pricing and the
successful launch of the new Australian Falcon. Revenue rose to $1.4 billion,
compared with $1.0 billion during the second quarter of 2002.

Premier Automotive Group (PAG): PAG reported pre-tax earnings of $166 million in
the second quarter of 2003, compared with a pre-tax loss of $122 million during
the second quarter of 2002. PAG benefited from both cost and revenue
improvements, with growing market acceptance of the Volvo XC90 and the recently
introduced Jaguar XJ. Second-quarter revenue for PAG was $6.4 billion, up from
$5.5 billion a year ago.

FORD CREDIT

Ford Motor Credit Company reported net income of $401 million in the second
quarter of 2003, up $71 million from earnings of $330 million in the same period
a year earlier.  On a pre-tax basis, Ford Credit earned $661 million in the
second quarter of 2003 compared with $519 million in the second quarter of
2002.  The increase in earnings primarily reflects higher income related to
securitizations and a lower provision for credit losses, offset partially by the
impact of lower receivables.

HERTZ

Hertz reported pre-tax earnings of $57 million in the second quarter, compared
with $72 million during the same period a year ago. Strong cost performance was
more than offset by unfavorable pricing and lower volume.

OUTLOOK

"Once again, we have proven that we are committed to our financial milestones,"
said Allan Gilmour, vice chairman. "We continue to surpass our cost performance
targets, and we continue to strengthen the balance sheet. We are focused on
achieving our goals and are working through the significant challenges we face
during the second half of the year and 2004."

Ford expects a loss of about 15 cents a share in the third quarter of 2003. This
expectation reflects lower planned production volumes in the third quarter. The
company remains committed to its full year earnings guidance of 70 cents a
share. These guidance figures do not include adverse effects that are likely to
occur from the adoption in the third quarter of a new accounting standard
(Financial Interpretation 46), which requires consolidation of certain entities
that were previously unconsolidated.

Investors and media can hear a review of second quarter results by Allan
Gilmour, vice chairman and Don Leclair, newly appointed chief financial officer,
via conference call at 800-299-0148 (617-801-9711 for international dial-in) or
on the Internet at http://www.shareholder.ford.com. Supporting presentation
material will be available at the same Internet address. The presentation will
begin at 8:30 a.m. EDT, July 16.
