Ford Motor Company
Savings and Stock Investment Plan
for Salaried Employees
Financial Report
December 31, 2008
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock
Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Ford Motor
Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees as of December 31, 2008 and 2007
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets of the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the changes in net assets
for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of December 31, 2008
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. This supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 Description of the Plan
The following description of the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for
Salaried Employees (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the provisions of the Plan, which are governed in all respects by the detailed
terms and conditions contained in the plan document. The Plan was established effective
February 1, 1956.
Type and Purpose of the Plan The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to
encourage and facilitate systematic savings and investment by eligible salaried employees
of Ford Motor Company (the Company) and to provide them with an opportunity to become
stockholders of the Company. The Plan includes provisions for voting shares of Company
stock. It is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended (ERISA), applicable to defined contribution pension plans.
Eligibility With certain exceptions, regular full-time salaried employees are eligible to
participate in the Plan on the first day of the second month following the original date of
hire. Participants are eligible for any applicable company matching contributions twelve
months following their original date of hire. Certain other part-time and temporary
employees also may be eligible to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is
voluntary.
Contributions Participants can contribute to the Plan on both a pre-tax and after-tax
basis, subject to federal tax law and plan limits. Participants may also elect to
contribute all, or a portion, of their distributions under the Companys Performance Bonus
Plan and the Ford Financial Variable Incentive Plan. A contribution in an amount
corresponding to each election is made by the Company to the Plan on the participants
behalf. Subject to limits under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), pre-tax contributions are excluded from the participants federal and most state
and local taxable income. Effective June 1, 2007, the Company reinstated matching
contributions at a rate of $0.60 for each dollar contributed up to 5 percent of
participants base salary deferred. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company suspended
matching contributions.
Subject to provisions of the Plan, participants may elect to roll over amounts from other
qualifying plans or arrangements in accordance with the Code. For the year ended December
31, 2008, transfers from other qualifying plans or arrangements totaled approximately
$4,605,000, which are included in employee contributions in the statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits.

Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 Description of the Plan (Continued)
Activity for participants in the Ford Stock Fund who have elected to receive dividends paid
in the form of cash instead of purchasing additional shares is reported in the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits. No dividends were declared or paid by the
Company during the plan year ended December 31, 2008.
Participant Accounts A participants account balance is comprised of employee
contributions, company contributions, if any, and investment income earned from the
individual investment options selected by the participant. Certain investment options will
charge a fee on short-term transfers, which is paid from the participants account. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is determined from the participants vested
account balance.
Vesting and Distribution Participants are fully vested in account balances related to
their pre-tax and after-tax contributions and earnings thereon. Pre-tax assets, after-tax
assets, and assets resulting from company matching contributions are accounted for
separately.
Company matching contributions vest three years after the original date of hire. At that
time, all assets attributable to company matching contributions held in participants
accounts become vested, and all future contributions vest when they are made. In-service
withdrawals of vested company matching contributions are permissible for participants who
are at least 59-1/2 years of age. Withdrawal of such contributions for participants less
than 59-1/2 years of age is limited to those contributions that have been in the Plan for
two years following the end of the year in which the contributions were made.
Pre-tax assets may not be withdrawn by participants until the termination of their
employment or until they reach 59-1/2 years of age, except in the case of personal
financial hardship.
Unmatched after-tax assets can be withdrawn at any time without restriction. Withdrawal of
matched after-tax assets that have been in the Plan for less than two years will result in
a suspension from making contributions to the Plan for a period of 12 months.
Distribution options include lump-sum, partial or installment payments. Eligible rollover
distributions can be rolled over to an IRA or another employers eligible plan.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 Description of the Plan (Continued)
Master Trust Investment Options and Participation Participant contributions and company
matching contributions are invested in accordance with the participants election in one or
more investments, which are held in the Ford Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the
Master Trust) (see Note 3).
Transfer of Assets The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment options held
by the Master Trust, subject to certain trading restrictions imposed on some of the
investment options.
Participant Loans The Plan permits loans to participants from both their pre-tax and
after-tax accounts. Monthly loan interest rates are based on the prime rate published in
The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the prior month.
A participant is eligible to take out one loan per calendar year and to have only four
loans outstanding at any one time. Regular loans may be for a minimum of one year, but not
exceeding five years. Home loans may be for a period of ten years.
Forfeitures and Plan Administration Expenses The Plan permits the Company to use assets
forfeited by participants to pay plan administrative expenses and, to the extent not used
to pay such expenses, to reduce the Companys future contributions to the Plan. To the
extent that forfeited assets are not available to pay certain administrative expenses, the
Company pays such expenses directly.
Party-in-Interest Transactions Certain Master Trust investment options are mutual funds
and other investment products managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company, which is
a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. Fidelity Management Trust Company, also a wholly
owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., is the trustee as defined by the Plan. Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company, Inc., also a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., is the
third-party administrator for the Plan. Additionally, Barclays Global Investors, Evercore
Trust Company, N.A. and Comerica Bank are paid investment management fees by the Company on
behalf of the Plan. Fees paid to these entities for trustee, administrative, and other
fees qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
method of accounting. The Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1
and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution
Health and Welfare and Pension Plans, requires the Statement of Net Assets Available for
Benefits to present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of
the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The
related activity is presented at contract value in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits.
Investments
The investments in the Ford Stock Fund, mutual funds and money market funds,
are valued on the basis of quoted year-end market prices. The Interest Income Fund, which
invests in fully-benefit responsive synthetic investment contracts, is stated at contract
value. Contract value represents investments at cost, plus accrued interest income, less
amounts withdrawn to pay benefits. The common and commingled institution pool investments
are stated at the aggregate market value of the individual collective pools included in
each respective fund, based on the fair value of the underlying assets. The fair value of
the Interest Income fund is based on the fair value of the underlying assets. The
investments held by the Interest Income Fund include government securities, corporate
bonds, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities and are valued using quoted
market prices and/or other market data for the same or comparable instruments and
transactions in establishing the prices, discounted cash flow models and other pricing
models. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various
assumptions, including time value and yield curve as well as other relevant economic
measures. The fair value of wrapper contracts provided by a security-backed contract
issuer is the present value of the difference between the current wrapper fee and the
contracted wrapper fee. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair
value.
7
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The fair value of the Plans interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of the
year value of the Plans interest in the trust, plus actual contributions and allocated
investment income, less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense (see Note
3). The average S&P and Moodys credit quality ratings for the underlying investments of
the Interest Income Fund were the equivalent of AA/Aa3 or higher during 2008.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative
of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan
believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market
participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value
of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the
reporting date.
8
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Purchases and sales of investments by the Master Trust are reflected on a trade-date basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other investments of the
Master Trust is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
Investment Contracts The Master Trust, through its investment in the Interest Income
Fund, invests in synthetic investment contracts (synthetic GICs). A synthetic GIC is a
wrap contract paired with an underlying investment or investments, usually a portfolio of
high-quality, short to intermediate-term fixed income securities and
money market accounts.
The Master Trust purchases a wrap contract from insurance companies and other financial
services institutions.
A synthetic GIC contract credits a stated interest rate for a specified period of time.
Investment gains and losses are amortized over the expected duration through the
calculation of the interest rate applicable to the Master Trust on a prospective basis.
Synthetic GICs provide for a variable crediting rate, which resets on some periodic basis.
Until 2009, the crediting rate set by the wrap contracts included the short-term
investments (money market account) used for benefit responsive events and the crediting
rate reset annually. Beginning 2009, the crediting rate is reset quarterly. The quarterly
crediting rate set by the wrap contracts does not include the short-term investments (e.g.
money market account) used for benefit responsive events. While the issuer of the wrap
contract provides assurance that future adjustments to the crediting rate cannot result in
a crediting rate less than zero, the actual quarterly interest rate credited to the Master
Trust is impacted by the current yield of the short-term investments used for benefit
responsive events. The crediting rate is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity
of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market
value and contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered
investments at the time of computation.
9
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The crediting rate is most impacted by the change in the annual effective yield to maturity
of the underlying securities, but is also affected by the differential between the contract
value and the market value of the covered investments. This difference is amortized over
the duration of the covered investments. Depending on the change in duration from reset
period to reset period, the magnitude of the impact to the crediting rate of the contract
to market difference is heightened or lessened. The crediting rate can be adjusted
periodically, but in no event is the crediting rate less than 0 percent.
Certain events limit the ability of the Master Trust to transact at contract value with the
insurance company and the financial institution issuer. Such events include the following:
(i) material amendments to the plan documents (including complete or partial plan
termination or merger with another plan); (ii) changes to the Plans prohibition on
competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions; (iii) bankruptcy of the
plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (e.g. divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary)
which cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan; (iv) the failure of the trust to
qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required exemption of prohibited
transaction under ERISA; (v) any change in law, regulation, ruling, administrative or
judicial position, or accounting requirement, applicable to the Interest Income Fund or the
Plan; or (vi) the delivery of any communication to plan participants designed to influence
a participant not to invest in the Interest Income Fund. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event,
which would limit the Master Trusts ability to transact at contract value, is probable.
The plan administrator evaluated whether a partial plan termination occurred in 2007 and
determined that no such event occurred.
10
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The synthetic investment contracts generally impose conditions on both the Master Trust and
the issuer. If an event of default occurs and is not cured, the non-defaulting party may
terminate the contract. The following may cause the Master Trust to be in default: a
breach of material obligation under the contract; a material misrepresentation; or a
material amendment to the plan agreement. The issuer may be in default if it breaches a
material obligation under the investment contract; makes a material misrepresentation; has
a decline in its long-term credit rating below a threshold set forth in the contract; is
acquired or reorganized and the successor issuer does not satisfy the investment or credit
guidelines applicable to issuers. If, in the event of default of an issuer, the Master
Trust were unable to obtain a replacement investment contract, withdrawing plans may
experience losses if the value of the Master Trusts assets no longer covered by the
contract is below contract value. The Master Trust may seek to add additional issuers over
time to diversify the Master Trusts exposure to such risk, but there is no assurance the
Master Trust may be able to do so. The combination of the default of an issuer and an
inability to obtain a replacement agreement could render the Master Trust unable to achieve
its objective of maintaining a stable contract value. The terms of an investment contract
generally provide for settlement of payments only upon termination of the contract or total
liquidation of the covered investments. Generally, payments will be made pro-rata, based
on the percentage of investments
covered by each issuer. Contract termination occurs whenever the contract value or market
value of the covered investments reaches zero or upon certain events of default.
11
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
If the contract terminates due to issuer default (other than a default occurring because of
a decline in its rating), the issuer will generally be required to pay to the Master Trust
the excess, if any, of contract value over market value on the date of termination. If a
synthetic GIC terminates due to a decline in the ratings of the issuer, the issuer may be
required to pay to the Master Trust the cost of acquiring a replacement contract (i.e.
replacement cost) within the meaning of the contract. If the contract terminates when the market value equals zero, the
issuer will pay the excess of contract value over market value to the Master Trust to the
extent necessary for the Master Trust to satisfy outstanding contract value withdrawal
requests. Contract termination also may occur by either party upon election and notice.
Since synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant
measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits
attributable to the synthetic GICs. Contract value represents contributions made under the
contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their
investment at contract value.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Contributions Contributions to the Plan from participants and, when applicable, from the
Company and participating subsidiaries (as defined in the Plan) are recorded in the period
that payroll deductions are made from plan participants.
Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires plan management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties The Master Trusts invested assets consist of company stock,
equity and fixed income mutual funds, equity and fixed income commingled institutional
pools, and synthetic GIC investments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks,
such as interest rate, market, and credit.
Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of
uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

All transfers to, withdrawals from, or other transactions regarding the Master Trust shall
be conducted in such a way that the proportionate interest in the Master Trust of each plan
and the fair market value of that interest may be determined at any time.
The interest of each such plan shall be debited or credited (as the case may be) (i) for
the entire amount of every contribution received on behalf of such plan (including
participant contributions), every distribution, or other expense attributable solely to
such plan, and every other transaction relating only to such plan; and (ii) for its
proportionate share of every item of collected or accrued income, gain or loss, and general
expense, and of any other transactions attributable to the Master Trust or that investment
option as a whole.

Note 4 Fair Value Disclosures
The Plan adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157), on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants
would use, including a consideration of non-performance risk. The provisions of SFAS 157
became effective prospectively for periods beginning January 1, 2008 for financial assets.
The implementation of the provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets as of January 1, 2008
did not have a material impact on the Plans financial statements.
In determining fair value, various valuation techniques are utilized and observable inputs
are prioritized. The availability of observable inputs varies from instrument to instrument
and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the
instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For
many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the
valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation
does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments,
pricing inputs are less observable in the marketplace and may require management judgment.

December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 4 Fair Value Disclosures (Continued)
The inputs used to measure fair value are assessed using a three-tier hierarchy based on
the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments and are
the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and inputs
such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include managements judgments about
the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset. In instances where
inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy,
fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the valuation. The Plans assessment of the significance of
particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors
specific to each asset.

Note 6 Administration of Plan Assets
The Master Trust assets are held by the trustee of the Plan, Fidelity Management Trust
Company. The assets of the Interest Income Fund (Fund) are held by the Funds custodian,
The Northern Trust Company.
Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company or
its subsidiaries. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan, nor
does the Company allocate any costs to the Plan.
Note 7 Plan Termination
The Company, by action of the Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan at any time.
Termination of the Plan would not affect the rights of a participant as to (a) the
continuance of investment, distribution or withdrawal of the securities, cash and cash
value of the Ford Stock Fund units in the account of the participant as of the effective
date of such termination, or (b) the continuance of vesting of such securities and cash
attributable to Company matching contributions or earnings thereon. Upon termination of
the Plan, participants would become fully vested. In the event of termination, all loans
would become due immediately upon such termination. There are currently no plans to
terminate the Plan.
Note 8 Reconciliation to Form 5500
The net assets on the financial statements differ from the net assets on Form 5500 due to
the synthetic GICs held in the Master Trust being recorded at contract value on the
financial statements and at fair value on Form 5500. The net assets on the financial
statements were higher than those on Form 5500 at December 31, 2008 and 2007 by $46,250,717
and $2,562,876, respectively. Additionally, the investment loss on Form 5500 for the year
ended December 31, 2008 is higher than the financial statements by $43,687,841.
