             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Participants and Administrator of
The Ford Motor Company Savings and
Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees



In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for 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 Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock  Investment Plan for Salaried  Employees
(the  "Plan")  at  December  30,  2004 and 2003,  and the  changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended  December 30, 2004 in conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 the
auditing  standards of the Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board (United
States).  Those  standards  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 our opinion.

As  described  in Note 3 to the  financial  statements,  the  accompanying  2003
financial  statements  have been restated to present the Plan's  investments  as
holdings in the Ford Defined  Contribution  Plans Master  Trust,  rather than as
direct holdings of the Plan.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of Assets Held
at End of  Year as of  December  30,  2004  is  presented  for  the  purpose  of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974. This  supplemental  schedule is the  responsibility of the
Plan's management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock
Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 30, 2004 and 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.      Description of the Plan

        The following description of the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock
        Investment Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan") provides only
        general information. The Plan was established effective February 1,
        1956. Participants should refer to the provisions of the Plan that are
        governed in all respects by the detailed terms and conditions contained
        in the Plan document.

        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 on the first day of the second month
        following the original date of hire. Any applicable Company matching
        contributions, however, will be provided after twelve months of service.
        Certain other part-time and temporary employees also may be eligible to
        participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is voluntary.

        Contributions
        Participants can contribute to the Plan on both a pretax and after-tax
        basis. Effective April 2004, under the Plan, and subject to limits
        required by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), participants may elect to
        contribute up to an aggregate 50% of their eligible wages on pretax
        and/or after-tax basis. Participants may also elect to contribute all,
        or a portion of their distributions under the Company's Performance
        Bonus Plan, Ford Financial (Annual) Variable Incentive Plan, and
        Flexible Compensation Account. A contribution in an amount corresponding
        to each election is made by the Company to the Plan on the participant's
        behalf. Subject to IRC limits, pretax contributions are excluded from
        the participant's federal and most state and local taxable income.

        Effective July 1, 2004, the Company reinstated matching contributions at
        a rate of $.60 for each dollar contributed up to 5% of participants'
        base salary. Company matching contributions are subject to forfeiture if
        participants terminate employment before they are vested. All Company
        matching contributions initially are invested in the Ford Stock Fund and
        there are no restrictions on the participant's ability to exchange out
        of the Ford Stock Fund. Contributions to the Pretax Program from the
        Performance Bonus Plan, Ford Financial (Annual) Variable Incentive Plan
        and the Flexible Compensation Account Program are not eligible for the
        Company match.

        Subject to Ford Motor Company approval, participants may elect to roll
        over amounts from other qualifying plans or arrangements in accordance
        with the Internal Revenue Code. For the year ended December 30, 2004,
        transfers from other qualifying plans or arrangements amounted to
        $7,702,210, which are included in employee contributions in the
        Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Activity for participants in the Ford Stock Fund who have elected to
        receive dividends paid in the form of cash instead of purchasing
        additional shares is reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
        Available for Benefits.

        Participant Accounts
        A participant's account balance is comprised of their contributions,
        Company contributions, if any, and investment income earned from the
        individual investment options selected by the participant. Certain 
        investment options will charge a fee on short-term transfers which is 
        paid from the participant's account. The benefit to which a participant 
        is entitled is determined from the participant's vested account balance.

        Vesting and Distribution
        Participants are fully vested in account balances related to their 
        pre-tax and after-tax contributions and earnings thereon. Pretax assets,
        after-tax assets and assets resulting from Company matching 
        contributions are accounted for separately.

        Company matching contributions vest three 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. In-service withdrawals of
        vested Company match contributions are permissible for participants who
        are at least 59-1/2 years of age. Withdrawal of such contributions for
        participants less than 59-1/2 years of age is limited to those
        contributions that have been in the Plan for two years following the end
        of the year in which the contributions were made.

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

        Unmatched after-tax assets can be withdrawn at any time without
        restriction. Withdrawal of matched after-tax assets that have been in
        the Plan for less than two years will result in a suspension from making
        contributions to the Plan for a period of 12 months.

        Participants may transfer vested Company matching contributions into 
        other available Master Trust investment options, subject to exchange 
        restrictions imposed by the various investment options. Effective July 
        1, 2004, participants may transfer both vested and nonvested Company 
        matching contributions.

        Investment Contracts with Insurance Companies
        The Interest Income Fund is a stable value investment option of the
        Master Trust comprised of short-term fixed income securities and 
        insurance contracts that seek to preserve principal. 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 2004 and 2003. The average yield and
        crediting interest rate was approximately 4.00% and 5.33% for 2004 and
        2003, respectively. 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.

        Transfer of Assets
        The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment options held by
        the Master Trust, subject to certain trading restrictions imposed on 
        some of the investment options.

        Participant Loans
        The Plan permits loans to participants from both their pretax and
        after-tax accounts. Monthly loan interest rates are based on the prime
        rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of
        the prior month.

        A participant is eligible to take out one loan per calendar year, and to
        have only four loans outstanding at any one time. Regular loans may be
        for a minimum of one year, but not exceeding five years. Home loans are
        for a period of ten years.

        Participant loans are included in the Statements of Net Assets Available
        for Benefits. Loans that are considered to be in default by the Plan are
        reclassified as withdrawals.

        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.
        Administrative expenses paid by the Plan amounted to $1,021,597 for the
        year ended December 30, 2004.

        Related-Party Transactions
        Certain Master Trust investment options are mutual funds and other 
        investment products managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company,
        which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Management and Research 
        Corporation. Fidelity Management Trust Company, also a wholly owned 
        subsidiary of Fidelity Management and Research Corporation is the 
        trustee as defined by the Plan. Fidelity Institutional Operations 
        Company, Inc., also a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Management 
        and Research Corporation, is the administrator for the Plan. 
        Additionally, Barclays Global Investors and World Asset Management are 
        paid investment management fees by the Company on behalf of the Plan. 
        Fees paid to these entities for trustee, administrative and other fees 
        qualify as related party transactions. Ford Motor Company paid trustee, 
        administrative, and other fees of $2,089,890 for the Plan year ended 
        December 30, 2004.

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 mutual funds and common/collective trust funds are at net asset
        value of the shares/units held. The investment in the Ford Stock Fund 
        and the investments in all other funds, except the Interest Income Fund,
        are valued on the basis of quoted year-end market prices. The Interest 
        Income Fund is stated at contract value, which approximates fair value. 
        Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, 
        plus interest at the annual contract rate, less withdrawals paid out to 
        participants. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates 
        fair value. The average S&P and Moody's credit quality ratings for the 
        underlying investments of the Interest Income Fund were AA+ and Aa1, 
        respectively. The Common Stock Index Fund and the U.S. Extended Market 
        Index Fund are stated at the aggregate market value of the individual 
        collective pools included in each respective fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Purchases and sales of investments by the Master Trust are reflected on 
        a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
        Income from other investments of the Master Trust is recorded as earned 
        on an accrual basis.

        Contributions
        Contributions to the Plan from participants 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.

        Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
        principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
        management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of assets and liabilities 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 Master Trust's invested assets consist of Company stock, equity and 
        fixed income mutual funds, equity and fixed income commingled 
        institutional pools and stable value investments. 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 could materially affect participants' account 
        balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets 
        Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets 
        Available for Benefits.

3.      The Master Trust

        The Company determined that it is appropriate to present the Plan's 
        investments as holdings in the Master Trust, rather than direct 
        holdings of the Plan.  Accordingly, the 2003 financial statements have 
        been restated to conform with the 2004 presentation. There was no impact
        on the assets available for benefits.

        The Company established the Master Trust pursuant to a trust agreement
        between the Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company, as trustee of
        the funds, in order to permit the commingling of trust assets of several
        employee benefit plans for investment and administrative purposes. The
        assets of the Master Trust are held by Fidelity Management Trust
        Company.

        accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the
        "Code"). The Plan has since been amended through April 8, 2005. The Plan
        Sponsor and tax counsel believe 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.      Administration of Plan Assets

        The Master Trust assets are held by the Trustee of the Plan, Fidelity
        Management Trust Company. 

        Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees
        of the Company or its subsidiaries. No such officer or employee receives
        compensation from the Plan, nor does the Company allocate any costs to
        the Plan.

8.      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. Upon
        termination of the Plan, participants would become fully vested. In the
        event of termination all loans would become due immediately upon such
        termination. There are currently no plans to terminate the Plan.

        Effective July 1, 2005, the Company will suspend the employer matching
        contribution.
