What the future holds.

Here are some futuristic vehicles from the Ford archives.

This is a 1960 Ford Typhoon II (Goliath) tractor.

That car interior screams the Jetsons cartoon.

Looks somewhat like the Essex Tri - directional that many of you quietly speak of. Oops, I may have said too much. Bill

I remember there being a big article in Michigan Farmer one time about what tractors and equipment would be in the 80s. There were plenty of artist drawings. The tractors looked a lot like the one in the first picture. They envisioned tillage being done by ultrasonic waves. I had saved that article, but like a lot of my paper collection, it got tossed. (Not by me.)

Hmm, funny how that happens. I have had the same sad experience.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas (;>))

It should only be mentioned in the presence of knowledgeable members.
There was no mass production of those units so far as I know.

I remember the Ford Futura (IIRC) station wagon from the 1964 worlds fair in Flushing Meadows NY. Even used to have a brochure about it I got while there.

They did make a Futura didn't they? It didn't look like that, but there was a kind of deluxe Falcon that was a Falcon Futura, I'm pretty sure.

The Futura package for the Falcon was bucket seats & different trim. Lincoln had the Futura concept car that eventually became the Batmobile.
