	Ford E-Series - Wikicars
		The Ford E-Series, formerly named and also known as the Econoline or "Club Wagon", is a line of fullsize vans (both cargo and passenger) and truck chassis from the Ford Motor Company.
		The first E-Series was based on the compact Ford Falcon, sized roughly to compete with the 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Sportvan and Volkswagen Type 2, which was 172.3 in long.
		Over the next six years, the "Big Three" (GM, Chrysler and Ford) would all redesign their vans, with hoods gradually evolving to a short conventional truck-like hood, and evolving from being based on compact cars to using components from full-sized pickup trucks.

	Media.Ford.com: Fordâs mid-century concept cars forecast future vehicles
		Ford Motor Company reflected the era of optimism-the 1950s and 1960s-in its concept vehicles, which revealed innovations in style and technology.
		Announced in 1952, this was Ford's "Car of Tomorrow," a pilot model being studied toward future development as a practical five-passenger sedan.
		Cars such as the Nucleon illustrate the extent to which research into the future was conducted at Ford, and demonstrate the designer's unwillingness to admit that a thing cannot be done simply because it has not been done.

	Concept Cars: Drawing Board to Driveway » Ford Motor Company Global Auto Shows
		More recently, the Ford Airstream (2007) concept created a stir on the Auto Show circuit when it was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 2007, but then so did the Ford Nucleon (1958), a car envisioned to be powered by an on-board nuclear reactor.
		The Ford Model U (2003) and Messenger (2003), and Ford Fairlane Concept (2005) are still on people’s minds.
		Ford needs to make the Mercury the Audi of the company instead of a collection of poorly restyled renditions of Ford models, and Lincoln needs to have demonstrable differences from Ford and Mercury and stand up to the scrutiny of the Lexus buyer.

	Atomic Age
		After the atomic bomb rendered all conventional explosives redundant and nuclear power plants did the same for power sources such as coal and oil, there was a general feeling that everything would use a nuclear power source of some sort.
		This even included cars, leading Ford to display their Nucleon concept car to the public in 1958.
		By the mid-1960s the real nature of the Atomic Age had become clear, leading eventually to the massive anti-nuclear demonstrations of the 1970s and '80s.

		While many GM prototypes appeared to represent vehicles soon to appear in showrooms, Ford dream cars were, for the most part, inoperable fantasy models called rollers due to the fact they had to be manually pushed onto display stands.
		Since the dreams cars that Ford produced were models, not drivers, many were impractical to the point of absurdity.

		The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village is a 254-acre attraction in the process of metamorphosis.
		But the automotive material, once an unorganized pile that battered you senseless with gray aggregation, is now an interesting homage to the motorcar and its impact on America, using the museum's huge, un-air conditioned spaces (and bottomless bank account) to full advantage.
		Henry Ford proclaimed that this museum, which opened in 1929, would show how the inventions of a few (mainly Ford and his industrialist pals) had forever changed America.

		But the most amazing of these models was the Nucleon.
		What may have looked like a Continental kit sitting on the large and flat rear deck was the cover for a small nuclear reactor that would power the car through the Atomic Age.

		The Ford Motor Company got as caught up as anyone in the atomic mania of the postwar years, and in the 1950s trotted out this concept car called the Ford Nucleon.
		This chic little plant was a self-contained unit that could power the Nucleon for 5000 miles, then be detached and replaced with a fresh one.
		It says something about the times that Ford could trundle out the concept of personal motorcars filled with uranium running about the countryside without having the public go into fits of the screaming meemies at the prospect of rear-ending one of these things.

		One of the most celebrated moments in Ford’s racing history came in the summer of 1966 when the company’s GT40 race car captured a 1-2-3 win at the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race, fulfilling Henry Ford II’s desire to beat Ferrari.
