1962 Ford Seattle-Ite XXI Concept

Text from various sources.

Designed to be shown at the Seattle World's Fair, and named after the host city. This unique styling dream car envisions four steerable front wheels and easily interchangeable power units. Seattle-ite XXI would feature such advanced concepts as a travel programming computer, variable density glass, jalousie windows, and fingertip steering. The entire front of the car would "break away" from the passenger compartment in order to permit conversion from an economical power capsule of perhaps 60 h.p., to a high-speed, transcontinental unit in excess of 400 h.p. This concept could allow many styling treatments for the trailing vehicle that would house passengers in air-conditioned, noiseless comfort.
