2003 Ford 427

Ford’s “427” concept sedan was a modern, all-American 4-door model that was inspired by the company’s landmark sedans of the ’60's, like a 427 cubic inch V-8 powered Galaxie 500 XL. The prototype version from 2003 featured an uncompromising V-10 engine.

2002 Ford Mighty F-350 Tonka

Ford’s mighty F-350 Tonka concept hints of what’s to come for the next-generation Ford F-Series pickup. Wrapped in vibrant yellow paint and lots of chrome, the Tonka showcases a 6.0-liter 32-valve turbocharged Power Stroke concept V-8 diesel engine—rated at 350 horsepower and up to 600 lb-ft of torque—teamed with a five-speed PowerTorq transmission. This is Ford’s first application of a five-speed automatic with a diesel engine. Inside, the Tonka is equipped with modular, customizable snap-on gauges and oversize, aircraft-inspired toggle switches. For complete comfort, the driver sits on an adjustable Commander’s Seat with full-floating suspension inspired by the heavy-duty, long-distance Class 8 rigs.

2001 Ford Forty Nine (Ghia)

Influenced by the classic 1949-1951 Ford, the Forty-Nine coupe concept also had the chopped and channeled look on customized cars from that era. The Forty-Nine featured rounded high intensity discharge and projector-beam front lighting, sleek, narrow, wrap-around LED taillights, and a roof with an all-glass upper structure. Inside, a raised console ran down the middle between the 4-bucket seats, and in front of the driver was a classic single-dial gauge cluster. "Powered by Thunderbird" badge on the side announced that a T-Bird 3.9-liter DOHC V-8 in the engine bay was tuned to fit the car"s appearance and refined muscle.
