PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated June 2, 2008)

$2,500,000,000

Ford Motor Company

4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due November 15, 2016

The notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.25% per annum. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on May
15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2010. The notes will mature on November 15, 2016, unless earlier converted,
redeemed or repurchased by us. The notes will be our senior, unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with our
senior unsecured debt, and will be senior in right of payment to our debt that is expressly subordinated to the notes, if any. The notes
will be structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities and commitments of our subsidiaries and will be effectively junior to our
secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

Subject to our right to terminate holders' conversion rights on or after November 20, 2014 as described below, holders may
convert their notes at their option prior to October 15, 2016 only (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter
ending December 31, 2009 if the closing sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30
consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the
applicable conversion price on the applicable trading day; (2) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive
trading-day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of
that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the applicable
conversion rate for such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or (4) if we elect to terminate holders'
conversion rights, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the date of such termination. Subject to our
right to terminate holders' conversion rights, on and after October 15, 2016 until the close of business on the business day
immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares
of our common stock, at our election, as described in this prospectus supplement.

The conversion rate will initially be 107.5269 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an
initial conversion price of approximately $9.30 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some
events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the conversion rate will be increased for any holder
who elects to convert its notes in connection with certain designated events.

We may terminate your conversion rights at any time on or after November 20, 2014 if the closing sale price of our common stock
exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period. We may not
redeem the notes prior to our termination of holders' conversion rights. However, we may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes
at our option at any time or from time to time after our termination of holders' conversion rights at a price equal 100% of the principal
amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

Holders may require us to repurchase notes for cash upon a change in control at 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus
any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Holders may also require us to repurchase notes for
shares of our common stock upon the occurrence of certain designated events at 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

A brief description of the notes can be found under "Summary -- The Offering" beginning on page S-4.

* As reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008, we
sold Jaguar and Land Rover effective June 2, 2008. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2008 we sold a
portion of our equity in Mazda, reducing our ownership percentage from approximately 33.4% to

Recent Developments

Third Quarter 2009 Results

Ford reported preliminary third quarter 2009 financial results on November 2, 2009. These
results included net income attributable to Ford of $997 million, an improvement of $1.2 billion
from a net loss attributable to Ford of $161 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Ford's Automotive sector reported a pre-tax profit of $545 million for the third quarter of
2009, a $1,277 million improvement over the same period a year ago. This improvement in
results was more than explained by favorable net pricing, favorable cost changes, and returns
on assets held in the temporary asset account related to our obligation to transfer certain
assets to the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement
Workers of America (the "UAW") Voluntary Employee Benefit Association ("VEBA") as part of
our retiree health care settlement agreement with the UAW. These factors were offset partially
by the non-recurrence of favorable retiree health care and related charges. The favorable cost
changes were more than explained by lower structural costs and lower net product costs.

Ford's Financial Services sector, primarily driven by Ford Credit, reported a pre-tax profit
of $670 million for the third quarter of 2009, an improvement of $511 million over the prior
year's third quarter. The increase in pre-tax results primarily reflected lower depreciation
expense for leased vehicles (consistent with lower residual losses on returned vehicles due to
higher auction values); a lower provision for credit losses (primarily related to lower severity,
offset partially by higher repossessions); lower operating costs; and net gains related to
unhedged currency exposure. These factors were offset partially by lower volume (primarily
reflecting lower industry volumes, lower dealer stocks, the impact of divestitures and
alternative business arrangements), and changes in currency exchange rates.

Labor Negotiations

On November 1, 2009, the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General
Workers Union of Canada the (the "CAW") announced that a majority of its members
employed by Ford Canada had voted to ratify modifications to the terms of the existing
collective bargaining agreement between Ford Canada and the CAW. The modifications are
patterned off of the modifications agreed to by the CAW for its agreements with the Canadian
operations of General Motors Company and Chrysler LLC and are expected to result in
annual cost savings.

On November 2, 2009, the UAW announced that a majority of its members employed by
Ford had voted against ratification of a tentative agreement that would have modified the
terms of the existing collective bargaining agreement between Ford and the UAW. These
modifications were in addition to those ratified by the UAW-Ford membership in March 2009,
which went most of the way in bringing Ford to competitive parity with the U.S. operations of
foreign-owned automakers. These latest modifications were designed to closely match the
modified collective bargaining agreements between the UAW and our domestic competitors,
General Motors Company and Chrysler LLC. Among the proposed modifications was a
provision that would have precluded any strike action relating to improvements in wages and
benefits during the negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement upon expiration of
the current agreement in September 2011, and would have subjected disputes regarding
improvements in wages and benefits to binding arbitration, to determine competitiveness
based on wages and benefits paid by other automotive manufacturers operating in the United
States.

Concurrent Transactions

This offering is part of a series of steps announced by Ford to improve its balance sheet
and enhance automotive liquidity. In addition to this offering, Ford announced it intends to
