Really? Who authorized this waste of time and effort, knowing they could never sell any for use on public roads


Seriously, as a piece of museum art, it's just fine. But for road use? parking lots? Those twin headlight antennas would get snapped off instantly bu accident of little trouble maker kids

  1. I hope there's a good dose of sarcasm in your comment! Concept cars are rarely about building a car for road use, but always about capturing the imagination of the public. Ford knew what they were doing here.

    1. nope. I think prototypes are a huge waste of money, just like the time of college student efforts to come up with "the car of the future" designs. Sure, they are cool, they are interesting, but they are about 96% never used to make real cars from the prototype design. And in those rare times that a prototype went to production, they kill off the cool stuff that made a prototype incredible, take the Prowler for example, the paint that made that show car awesome never went to production. Most prototypes were destroyed, and only exist in photos. GM took some of their best on the road with the Futurliners, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/20-years-of-chyrsler-concept-vehicles.html a list of lots of wasted chances to make good new cool cars
