Looks like this is where Chevy got inspiration for it's logo placement on the Camaro SS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the probe, I read somewhere that the next gen probe actually turned into the cougar to get younger buyers to mercury. I remember liking the probe gt in high school and the new cougar. Heres the mc2 concept for that cougar. This 1963 cougar II concept was pretty cool too Edited October 27, 2018 by T-dubz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember liking the probe gt in high school and the new cougar. I remember that. My dad worked on the IP for that car. He was surprised when they killed the probe name and made it the new Cougar. I've actually seen a couple wearing Ford badges but nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) There were several Ford Probe concepts in the early 80's. I think this was the last one before they actually greenlit the car. The 1990 Shockwave Concept....sorta...previewed the 1993 Probe.

atomcat68 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 This is what the EXP was supposed to look like, and somehow someone turned it into the "frog" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Kat Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Mustang Country Squire concept... I like it! Bitchin’ car. Unlike anything on the road today. Would sell like hot cakes especially if you could order various colors on the trim and paneling. This would be my pick for the AWD Mustang and the 450 hp Ecoboost 3.5. A world beater! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willwll313wll Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 When I become a car designer, I am going to push for funding of real concept cars for auto shows. Only design for what can go into production stifles the ability to design with innovation in mind. It doesn’t negate it completely but when you can design with little to no limitations, innovation happens and can pulled down into production vehicles.

akirby Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Or you just waste money getting people excited about a car that can’t possibly be built. Like the Interceptor or 427. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the mc2 concept for that cougar. This 1963 cougar II concept was pretty cool too My first car was a 1993 Ford probe gt. I loved that thing. Fun to drive, handles great, felt like Japanese vehicle actually in terms of steering feel, handling, power train, etc. The probe shared a lot with the Mazda MX 6. Anyway, I ran over a curb at high speed and effed my probe. Sold it, bought a white 1994 probe GT. Both of these were manual. Great cars, can have a lot of maintenance but not terrible, and lots of spaces to lay with the seats flat and the hatch open at a drive in.

It’s good to get people excited about possibilities I think. I love those concept cars. Yes it would be nice if they were built but a concept car is meant to show you what we can do in concept. Get people excited, and invested into what you can offer coming into the future even if it’s just an idea or a theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
