The Super Duty-based Bronco Concept begins at a little after 29:30. Many good cars here.

Sweet lookin' beast for sure.....not sure how well it would have sold in a 4 door dominated sales landscape.

That 1938 Ambulance is from a town that I live near...wonder how they winded up with it.

So many interesting cars in this collection. As great as the Ford GTS and mustangs are, I'm really drawn to that interceptor concept, and that airstream concept as well. That interceptor design has aged really gracefully imo, and something like that van concept is something I'd like to see make a comeback as a high style lifestyle van, with some tweaks, it would be great for the van life crowd.

They explain how it got there in the video if you listen to it.

i wasn't fully paying attention to it when I heard the town-was on in the background when I was doing other stuff. 

 

I was also under the impression that Ford had another collection like this but liquidated back in 2007/08 when things got really tight then started another with this collection?

Yeah, the Airstream van looks really cool, but if Ford can’t even justify importing or building the Custom mid-size van in USA, the odds we would ever see anything similar to that Airstream is zero.  For van life it would need much greater headroom or standup height, and IMO a much taller roof would ruin the looks.  The very popular Transit Custom has similar issue in that headroom is too limited for standing, except in theoretical H2 variant which I haven’t even seen pictures of yet; only drawings.  And it’s so tall it looks hideous.

I loved a lot of Ford's early 2000s concept cars, and it was sad that most didn't make their way to production.  Interceptor and MKR were awesome looking then and still look good now (though the MKR's grille is a big crazy as it was then).
