Federal-Mogul's Moog(R), ANCO(R), Fel-Pro(R) and Wagner(R) Brands Win Advertising Awards

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--Jan. 2, 20060, 2006--Federal-Mogul Corporation's (OTCBB:FDMLQ) Moog(R) chassis parts, ANCO(R) wiper blades, Fel-Pro(R) gaskets and Wagner(R) brake products brands have received Readers' Choice awards from four leading automotive trade publications in recognition of excellence in print advertising.

Wagner was selected as a Readers' Choice winner by subscribers of Brake & Front End, Counterman and ImportCar - respected monthly trade journals that reach a combined audience of nearly 120,000 professional automotive technicians, shop owners and parts counterpeople. The Moog brand received the Readers' Choice award from Brake & Front End, while ANCO and Fel-Pro received awards selected by the readers of Counterman and Underhood Service, respectively. Underhood Service is published monthly for approximately 40,000 technicians and shop owners.

Each year the magazines measure the effectiveness of ads placed by hundreds of aftermarket suppliers, with the top 10 companies or brands receiving Readers' Choice awards. Babcox, the magazines' publisher, measures ad effectiveness through a nationwide survey of readers.

"Of the hundreds of advertisers who seek our readers' attention, Federal-Mogul is among the foremost communicators in the industry," said Jeff Stankard, publisher, Babcox Tech Group.

Moog and Wagner ads in 2005 focused on innovative product technologies that help technicians restore proper steering, suspension and brake system performance on a full range of domestic and import vehicles. The award-winning Moog ads featured a variety of exclusive, track-tested problem-solving chassis components that address issues associated with conventional parts and are easier to install. The Wagner ads described the benefits of the revolutionary ThermoQuiet(R) one-piece brake pad, the only replacement pad to combine excellent stopping power, long life and quiet performance.

The ANCO brand's 2005 trade advertising focused on its full line of wiper blades, which offers a safe, confident view of the road for virtually any customer and vehicle. Fel-Pro trade ads featured a variety of innovative gasket technologies, including new PermaDryPlus(R) premium intake manifold gaskets and PermaTorqueMLS(TM) multi-layer steel head gaskets.

"The Readers' Choice awards demonstrate the strong relationships the Moog, Wagner, ANCO, and Fel-Pro brands have established with automotive professionals nationwide," said Brian Tarnacki, director, brand marketing, Federal-Mogul. "We remain committed to clearly and distinctively communicating in our advertising how Moog, Wagner, ANCO, Fel-Pro and other Federal-Mogul products can help build customer confidence by solving a problem, making the job easier and improving vehicle performance."
