There is a poster for it, but I think that's a concept that I missed! It looks like it has potential to be bad-A$$, too. Where can I find out more about this?

 

I found this

This might be better

 

There was also a feature article in Classic Trucks March 2003 edition which had a lot of nice "under construction" pics.

I have not tried it but you can maybe go to www.classictrucksweb.com and filch the article out of their archives. I clipped the article pages from the magazine for my "Sweet Rides" file which has gotten so big over the last 40 years or so that I would have to have Bill Gate's bank account to attempt to even try and duplicatesome of the things I think are neat.

Jeez, what year is it, 1953? Looks just like that new 'old' Chevy.

 

I tend to agree...

 

All three are 1953 models according to the articles. Two pickups and one panel.

Like it or not, I think we are going to see a lot more retromobiles in the next few years.

It will start to make the less-modern, 'uncool' cars, suddenly become 'hip.'

 

I say let them build it, and sell it to the masses. I would be first in line at my local dealer.

 

I think you will find that Ford have no intention of building these vehicles for regular production.
This truck along with a Focus and a 65 Mustang are being built to showcase Ford Racing Performance parts new crate DOHC 5.0 engine.
This is a bored out (94mm) 4.6 Mod motor and will be available with either a blower, single 4 bbl or Quad Weber carbs. Groovy!
I daresay that if they got enough interest like Chrysler had with the Prowler, they may build them but I doubt it.

 

Well Adam I for sure agree that they would never see the light of day the way McLaren built them. Must have cost $150-200K apiece what with Nascar type one off frames etc.

While on the subject of Retro, and this is a walk on the wild side, I wish someone would do a rego of the 1100cc Fiat Abarth Zagato or even the 750 Fiat Abarth based off the 600 sedan.
My first new car was a 1959 600 to which I added the Abarth exhaust and a mild carb upgrade. I could not afford the neat side draft Weber setup as I was still going to University at the time.
Even so, it was a real VW Beetle /Morris Minor eater and except for handling could stay with the odd Sprite up to about 45-50 if they were stock which not many in Southern Calif. were in those days. And those teeny teeny tires, Geez scares me to even think about them nowadays.
