2006
financial results. Ford Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Ford,
and
Ford Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Don Leclair,
will
host a presentation for the investment community and news media beginning
at
9:00 a.m. to review first quarter 2006 financial results. Investors may
access this presentation by dialing 800-706-7741 (or 1-617-614-3471 from

Please
note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K discusses pre-tax profits excluding
special items for Ford's Automotive sector and the primary operating
segments
and business units within the Automotive sector. The most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is
pre-tax
profits including special items. Ford believes that pre-tax profits excluding
special items is a useful measure to provide investors, because it excludes
those items that Ford does not consider to be indicative of earnings
from
ongoing operating activities. As a result, pre-tax profits excluding
special
items provides investors with a more relevant measure of the results
generated
by our operations.
