Ford Prima the versatile transformer

Prima’s concept was for interchanging roof sections that would transform the shape and functionality of the vehicle. Its character could change into a pickup, station wagon, fastback coupe or two-door notchback. It was shown with a red exterior and beige interior.

The 1977 1978 Megastar was a Granada-based saloon (sedan), though you would never guess so from its amazing glass-house molding (the front doors were 80 percent glass).

Ford displayed the first Megastar prototype at the 1978 Chicago, which was fitted with a three-liter V-6.

1967 Shelby Lonestar

The Shelby Lonestar
https://www.thegentlemanracer.com/2012/07/the-shelby-lonestar.html

I believe it was Geof Howard's shop that finished the car? It came out really nice.

The way I look at it though it is more of a design study rather then an intended product car?

Certainly some of the concepts are more then a little advanced or even abstract for it's time but there is some food for thought there? After all, how can you test the design and considerations until you build it?

Not only that but the cost to operate would be astronomical.  I believed it ran on windex....

Well yesterday being cinco de mayo we head into another ....Fiesta

The Fiesta Tuareg — a functional one-of-a-kind all-terrain vehicle — is equipped for rugged off-road recreational use. Based on Ford Division's popular Fiesta, the Tuareg was a joint design project between Ford's Ghia Operation in Turin, Italy, and the Ford Design Center in Dearborn, Mich. The concept car is built on a 90-inch wheelbase and powered by a 1.1-liter engine with a four-speed manual transmission. The Fiesta Tuareg will be a featured attraction at Ford Division auto show displays this year.

1978 Lucano

The Lucano is a two-seat sports car, based on the European Escort, which resembles the TR-7 in its wedged lines. The front-mounted engine could range anywhere from 1.1 to 2.0 liters.

Looks like the beginnings for the EXP Escort for the USA.

 Megastar II

The Ford Megastar II was a five-passenger, wedge-shape concept that rode on a 101-inch wheelbase, and powered by a two-liter four-cylinder engine. Its two-door aluminum body had an extended front section, and short, squaretail rear, designed to benefit stability and fuel economy. Copper-tinted windshield and door glass blended with the honey-colored velvet-like upholstered material. Ford fitted with a three-liter V-6.
