As part of an upcoming little project that I have in mind, I would be quite interested in hearing members thoughts on what they believe to be the most important design elements ever seen in Australian Fords?
The stuff I'm interested in are those 'visual clues' that instantly identify that the vehicle is a firstly a Ford, and then more specifically what model it actually is. The Iconic bits that I'm wanting to hear about are things like the 'shaker'. A glimpse of one of these instantly reminds anyone that looks at it, of the XY GT Falcon. More recently would be the front grille of the EL GT. The designers 'demanded' that the ELGT would have in their words the 200m look (able to tell what it was from a single glance from 200m away) These iconic elements aren't restricted to just the Falcon either. Things like the cortina 'power bulge' or the chrome cones present on the front of single / twin spinner ford Customline utes. What iconic design elements stick in your mind???? Feel free to include images as well.. |
