Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Ford Motor Company ("Ford") hereby incorporates by reference its revised news release dated April 24, 2008, which is herewith provided as Exhibit 99.

This material was originally provided as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 24, 2008 (the "Original Form 8-K Report").  In this amendment to the Original Form 8-K Report, we are revising Exhibit 99 to correct a typographical error in the presentation of the Financial Services sector "over/(under)" comparison in the chart on the first page, which should have reflected $(226) million and not $(26) million.  The "over/(under)" data for the Financial Services sector were presented correctly throughout the remainder of the document.

Ford conducted two conference calls on April 24, 2008 to review preliminary first quarter 2008 financial results.  Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Ford's President and Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Don Leclair hosted a presentation for the investment community and news media to review Ford's preliminary first quarter 2008 financial results

At 11:00 a.m., Ford Senior Vice President and Controller Peter Daniel, Ford Vice President and Treasurer Neil Schloss, and Ford Motor Credit Company Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer K.R. Kent hosted a presentation for fixed income analysts and investors.

A listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for these calls is available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com.  Investors may also access replays for one week following the presentations by dialing 888-286-8010 (or 1-617-801-6888 from outside the United States).  The passcode for replays of the earnings call is 29481628; the passcode for replays of the fixed income call is 55865600.  All times referenced above are in Eastern Time.

Please note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K discusses revenue and 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 measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are revenue and pre-tax profits including special items.  We believe that revenue and pre-tax profits excluding special items are useful measures to provide investors, because they exclude those items that we do not consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities.  As a result, revenue and pre-tax profits excluding special items provide investors with more relevant measures of the results generated by our operations.
