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 250,000  shares of Common  Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  of the
Company ("Common Stock"), relating to the Company's Savings and Stock Investment
Plan for Salaried 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
