Item 8.01. Other Events.

Ford Motor Company ("Ford," "we" or "our") filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008 ("Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 7, 2008. Ford is a participant in the SEC's voluntary XBRL ("eXtensible Business Reporting Language") program, and hereby attaches financial information from our Report formatted in XBRL.

Included in the exhibits hereto is our Intelligent Financial StatementTM, a supplemental PDF file containing financial information from our Report embedded with XBRL financial data in a viewable and printable document. By moving the computer mouse over the data displayed on the computer screen in our Intelligent Financial StatementTM, users of this exhibit will be able to view pop-up CoreFiling TagTipsTM showing how the data is internally expressed as XBRL.

We remind users of this data pursuant to Rule 401 of Regulation S-T that the information contained in the XBRL files is unaudited, and that these documents are not the formal financial statements that we filed with the SEC. The purpose of submitting these XBRL-formatted files is to assist the SEC in testing the format and technology, and, as a result, investors should not rely on the attached files, but should instead continue to rely on the information contained in our Report when making investment decisions.

In accordance with Rule 402 of Regulation S-T, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including each of the exhibits listed below, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Exchange Act, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.]
