   	Debt Securities.  Pursuant to Registration Statement No. 33-
45887, Ford Motor Company, a Delaware corporation ("Ford"), in 
August 1992, registered Debt Securities of Ford ("Debt 
Securities") in the principal amount of $1,000,000,000.  The Debt 
Securities were registered on Form S-3 to be offered on a delayed 
or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 4l5 under the Securities Act 
of 1933, as amended.  The Debt Securities are to be issued under 
an Indenture dated as of February 15, 1992 between Ford and The 
Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Indenture").  In connection 
therewith, Ford has entered into an underwriting agreement dated 
November 9, 1995 (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Lehman 
Brothers Inc. and a pricing agreement dated November 9, 1995 (the 
"Pricing Agreement") with Lehman Brothers Inc., as representative 
of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the 
"Underwriters").

   	Ford has created a series of Debt Securities under the 
Indenture in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000.  
Such series has been designated as Ford's 7 1/8% Debentures due 
November 15, 2025 (the "Debentures").  The Debentures are being 
offered by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting 
Agreement and the Pricing Agreement.  The entire issue of the 
Debentures will be represented by two global securities, one in 
the principal amount of $200,000,000 and one in the principal 
amount of $100,000,000 (the "Global Debentures"), except that in 
certain circumstances as provided in the Indenture the Global 
Debentures will be exchanged for Debentures in definitive form 
(the "Definitive Debentures").  Copies of the Underwriting 
Agreement, the Pricing Agreement, the form of Global Debenture 
and the form of Definitive Debenture are being filed as exhibits 
to this Report.
