Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This  will  refer  to  the   Registration   Statement   on  Form  S-8  (the
"Registration  Statement")  that is  being  filed  by Ford  Motor  Company  (the
"Company")  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act"), with
respect to 1,253,108  shares of Common Stock,  par value $1.00 per share, of the
Company ("Common Stock"),  relating to the Company's  Tax-Efficient Savings Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Plan").

     As an Assistant  Secretary  and Counsel of the Company,  I am familiar with
the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and the By-Laws of the Company and with its
affairs, including the actions taken by the Company in connection with the Plan.
I also have examined such other  documents  and  instruments  and have made such
further  investigation  as I have deemed  necessary or appropriate in connection
with this opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

     (1) The Company is duly  incorporated and validly existing as a corporation
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     (2) All necessary  corporate  proceedings  have been taken to authorize the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock being  registered  under the Registration
Statement,  and all such shares of Common Stock acquired by Fidelity  Management
Trust Company, as trustee under the Master Trust Agreement dated as of September
30, 1995, as amended, relating to the Plan (the "Master Trust Agreement") and as
trustee under the Plan, in  accordance  with the Master Trust  Agreement and the
Plan will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable when the Registration
Statement  shall have  become  effective  and the  Company  shall have  received
therefor the consideration provided in the Plan (but not less than the par value
thereof).

     I  hereby  consent  to the  use  of  this  opinion  as  Exhibit  5.A to the
Registration  Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am in the
category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

                                                   Very truly yours,


                                                  /s/Kathryn S. Lamping
                                                   Kathryn S. Lamping
                                                   Assistant Secretary and
                                                     Counsel
