MadManMoon Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I can't stop staring at it...what an abomination! I have to say, though - the effort is well-executed, even if I think the design itself is hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It's a Brazilian thing, they have been doing that for years. The 1959 Ford F-100 sedans and 1961 Chevy C-10 sedans actually looked kind of good. Kind of.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 They built bumpside pickups and variants like this one until 92, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooter Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) The interior seems pleasing and not "over worked"....refreshing to my eye is the center console in addition too the manual transmission....exterior is something akin to a taste for raw snails.....exterior sans "trunk" would have been my prefered design route Edited January 2, 2021 by snooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The interior would have been fine in the 1990's-early 2000's. I think it should have been left with a tailgate and cargo bed instead of a trunk. At least then there would be an option to put a cab on the back.

twintornados Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I remember a conceptual drawing from the early 2000's that showed a Crown Victoria sedan based on an F150 chassis...looked really interesting, but it never got any further than a drawing board.

I tried to find the article, but when you put in "F150 based Crown Victoria concept" the only thing that comes up is a bunch of F150 front suspensions that were changed out to a Crown Vic front sub-chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passis Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) In their defense, I think they started by providing demanded vehicles that the automakers themselves were not building, especially SUV versions of the trucks. They adpated F-series into Broncos and Rangers into Everests, for instance. Once this Pandora box was opened I guess they got a bit carried away lol PS: now that i saw the picture posted by NLPRacing (which I didn't know of) maybe the madness was there from the start lol Edited January 5, 2021 by passis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Automobile Magazine had a piece by Robert Cumberford who proposed this way back and might have shown his sketch. Maybe that helps!
