Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Ford Motor Company ("Ford") hereby incorporates by reference its news release dated January 25, 2007, which is herewith furnished as Exhibit 99.

Ford will conduct two conference calls on January 25, 2007 to review Ford's fourth-quarter and full-year 2006 financial results. Ford's President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan Mulally, and 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. on January 25, 2007 to review preliminary fourth-quarter and full-year 2006 financial results. Investors may access this presentation by dialing 800-706-7741 (or 1-617-614-3471 from outside the United States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response of "Ford Earnings."

Ford Vice President and Treasurer, Ann Marie Petach, Ford Motor Credit Company Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, K.R. Kent, and Ford Vice President and Controller, Peter Daniel, will host a second presentation for fixed income analysts and investors beginning at 11:00 a.m. Investors may access this presentation using the same dial-in information as above, with the passcode being a verbal response of "Ford Fixed Income."

At the same time, a listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for these calls will be available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com. Investors may also access replays for one week following the presentation by visiting www.shareholder.ford.com, or 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 are in Eastern Time.

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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is pre-tax profits including special items. We believe that pre-tax profits excluding special items is a useful measure to provide investors, because it excludes those items that we do 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.
