Mark Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Probably a Ford concept car, based on a 1969 station wagon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Looks like something Ford would have on display at the new car auto shows of old. While maybe not practical for a family car of the day, it sure looks good to me. The back seat is fashioned after the Thunder Bird wraparound rear seating.

cobraman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Doesn't look like there is any kind of latch to keep those doors closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Wraparound 3rd row too. Needs a bar for mom and dad hauling kids. Burled wood grain needed I’d think too. Pimptacular. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calb56 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 That is so cool... but I love station wagons to my wife's chagrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I think it was intended to be an executive, mobile business office. Having meetings while traveling somewhere. Hence, the rear facing passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Chrysler actually offered a setup somewhat like that on the Imperial for a couple of years (mid/late Sixties). The passenger front seat could be turned to face the rear seat, and there was a small desk. I believe it was called the Mobile Director option. Special-Interesr Autos magazine once got their hands on one ('67 or '68) for an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THarrison351 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It looks good! Pillarless! How would the doors secure? I'm not sure Ford ever offered a four door wagon in any form but sedan style doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The doors would latch into the floor, like the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham (the one Revell did the kit of, that Atlantis now has). Not the most practical, but this was a concept and those were seldom meant to be practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Ford ever offered a four door wagon in any form but sedan style doors. If you look at the rockers, there appears to be a couple hoops just below where the doors would close over. Likely used latches for the barn door style side and back doors on the Econoline vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRiN Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 That seat would scare the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of the kids. You would not have to swing your arm wildly, Just turn around and give the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
