Floating Rate Notes due 2002, issue additional notes having the same ranking and
the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Ford Credit Floating
Rate Notes due 2002. Any additional notes will, together with the Ford Credit
Floating Rate Notes due 2002, constitute a single series of Ford Credit Floating
Rate Notes due 2002 under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an
Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Ford Credit Floating Rate
Notes due 2002.
The Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes due 2002 will bear interest from July
16, 1999 at a floating rate determined in the manner provided below, payable on
each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, commencing October 18, 1999, to the
person in whose name the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes due 2002 were
registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the respective
Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, subject to certain exceptions.
The per annum interest rate on the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes due 2002
(the "2002 Floating Interest Rate" and together with the 2001 Floating Interest
Rate, each a "Floating Interest Rate") in effect for each day of an Interest
Period will be equal to the Three Month LIBOR Rate plus 26 basis points (0.26%).
The 2002 Floating Interest Rate for each Interest Period for the Ford Credit
Floating Rate Notes due 2002 will be set on the relevant Interest Reset Date
until the principal on the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes due 2002 is paid or
made available for payment (the "2002 Principal Payment Date" and together with
the 2001 Principal Payment Date, each a "Principal Payment Date"). If any
Interest Reset Date (other than the initial Interest Reset Date occurring on
July 16, 1999) and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date for the Ford Credit
Floating Rates due 2002 would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business
Day,
S-10
<PAGE> 11
such Interest Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the
next succeeding LIBOR Business Day, unless the next succeeding LIBOR Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset
Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding
LIBOR Business Day.
INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO BOTH ISSUES OF FORD CREDIT FLOATING RATE NOTES
"LIBOR Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and
that, in the City of New York or the City of London, is not a day on which
banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law to close.
"Interest Period" shall mean the period from and including an Interest Reset
Date to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and, in the case
of the last such period, from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately
preceding the relevant Maturity Date or Principal Payment Date, as the case may
be, to but not including such Maturity Date or Principal Payment Date, as the
case may be. If a Principal Payment Date or Maturity Date is not a LIBOR
Business Day, then the principal amount of the relevant Ford Credit Floating
Rate Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be paid on the next
succeeding Floating Rate Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the
relevant Floating Rate Maturity Date, Principal Payment Date or any day
thereafter. "Floating Rate Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a
Saturday or Sunday and that, in the City of New York, is not a day on which
banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law to close.
The "Three Month LIBOR Rate" shall mean the rate determined in accordance
with the following provisions:
(i) On the second day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars
are transacted in the London interbank market preceding each Interest Reset
Date (each such date an "Interest Determination Date"), The Chase Manhattan
Bank (the "Reference Agent"), as agent for Ford Credit, will determine the
Three Month LIBOR Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars
having a three-month maturity which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. "Telerate
Page 3750" means the display page so designated on the Dow Jones Markets
Limited (or such other page as may replace that page on that service or
such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers'
Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates
for U.S. dollar deposits). If the Three Month LIBOR Rate on such Interest
Determination Date does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750, such Three
Month LIBOR Rate will be determined as described in (ii) below.
(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the
Three Month LIBOR Rate does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750 as
specified in (i) above, the Three Month LIBOR Rate will be determined on
the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by
four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Reference
Agent (the "Reference Banks") at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank
market having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an
amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single
transaction in such market at such time. The Reference Agent will request
the principal London office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the
Three Month LIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 5 one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided, the Three Month LIBOR Rate on such Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point,
with 5 one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of the rates
quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the

Reference Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European
banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an
amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single
transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the
banks in New York City selected as aforesaid by the Reference Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant Interest Rate for the
Interest Period commencing on the Interest Reset Date following such
Interest Determination Date will be the Interest Rate in effect on such
Interest Determination Date.
The amount of interest for each day that a Ford Credit Floating Rate Note
is outstanding (the "Daily Interest Amount") will be calculated by dividing the
relevant Floating Interest Rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying
the result by the principal amount of such Ford Credit Floating Rate Note. The
relevant amount of interest to be paid on such Ford Credit Floating Rate Note
for any Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts
for each day in such Interest Period.
The Interest Rates on the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes will in no event
be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be
modified by United States law of general application.
The Floating Interest Rates and amount of interest to be paid on the Ford
Credit Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Period will be determined by the
Reference Agent. So long as the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes are listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Singapore Stock Exchange, the Floating
Rate Interest Payment Date, the Floating Interest Rates and amounts of interest
to be paid on the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Period will
be communicated to each of the Exchanges by the Reference Agent no later than
the first day of the relevant Interest Period and published in accordance with
"Notices" below. All calculations made by the Reference Agent shall in the
absence of manifest error be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Ford
Credit and the holders of the Ford Credit Floating Rate Notes. So long as the
Three Month LIBOR Rate is required to be determined with respect to the Ford
Credit Floating Rate Notes, there will at all times be a Reference Agent. In the
event that any then acting Reference Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act,
or that such Reference Agent shall fail duly to establish the Three Month LIBOR
Rate for any Interest Period, or that Ford Credit proposes to remove such
Reference Agent, Ford Credit shall appoint itself or another person which is a
bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to
act as the Reference Agent.
THE FORD NOTES
The Ford Notes will initially be limited to $1,800,000,000 aggregate
principal amount, will be unsecured obligations of Ford and will mature on July
16, 2031. The Ford Notes will bear interest from July 16, 1999 at the rate per
annum set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement. Interest will
be payable on January 16 and July 16 of each year, commencing January 16, 2000,
to the person in whose names the Ford Notes are registered at the close of
business on the preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively, subject to certain
exceptions. Interest on the Ford Notes will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Ford Notes are not subject to redemption prior to maturity unless
certain events occur involving United States taxation. If any of these special
tax events do occur, the Ford Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of
100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption. See "Description of Notes -- Redemption."
Ford may, without the consent of the holders of the Ford Notes, issue
additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity
and other terms as the Ford Notes.
S-12
<PAGE> 13
Any additional notes will, together with the Ford Notes, constitute a single
series of Ford Notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if
an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Ford Notes.
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
Each series of Notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully
registered Global Notes (the "Global Notes") which will be deposited with, or on
behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the "Depository")
and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depository's nominee. Notes in
definitive form will not be issued. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes
will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting
on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in the
Depository. Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Notes through
either the Depository (in the United States) or Cedelbank ("Cedel") or Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels Office, as operator of the
Euroclear System ("Euroclear") (in Europe) if they are participants of such
systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such
systems. Cedel and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants
through customers' securities accounts in Cedel's and Euroclear's names on the
books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests
in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on the books of the
Depository. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Cedel and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, will act as depositary for Euroclear (in such capacities, the
