Ford Airstream Concept Vehicle


The Ford Airstream is a concept car which made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The concept vehicle is powered by a rechargeable plug-in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell drive train. The drive train’s compact hydrogen fuel cell system is used to recharge a lithium-ion battery pack, which in turn powers the electric drive system. This advanced fuel cell system is half the weight and cost of today’s fuel cells and can operate in the dead of winter.

Ford Airstream has its unique style of having these reflective silver, bullet-like trailers that brought the creature comforts of home in a stylish package. The Ford Airstream includes asymmetric doors. The passenger side door is a power clamshell hatch that runs two-thirds the length of the vehicle for loading of passengers and cargo. The interior was inspired by spacecraft images and environments portrayed in 2001: A Space Odyssey according to Ford.

But I want to comment about the paint. There could be a high possibility that more traffic accident would be caused with its reflective paint. It is a terrific way to blind oncoming vehicles.

And one must be careful with the fingerprints! Keeping this thing clean would be a nightmare. Well, it’s a unique idea, I can say. At least it's not bland.

Concept cars are like the super models of the fashion world. No one expects to actually own those. But I think it s beautiful vehicle and I cannot wait till I see it on the road. Ford has some serious design identity right now.
