Ford Announces Retail Customer Incentives

    DETROIT, July 7 -- Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers
have been informed of retail customer cash or financing incentives available
nationally from Ford and Ford Credit on certain 1997- and 1998-model cars and
trucks from July 8 through October 1, 1997.
    On most vehicles, customers can choose from attractive cash incentives
that can be applied either to a retail purchase or 24-month Ford Credit Red
Carpet Lease, or they can take advantage of low finance rates offered through
Ford Credit on retail contracts for terms up to 60 months.
    Details of available incentives follow.  Regional incentives also may be
available and may vary from national incentives.  Customers interested in the
full details of these and other incentives that may be available should see
their local Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealers.
