The American automobile giant Ford has presented a special collection of over 100 historical cars, rare prototypes and experimental models, some of which have never been seen before by the public.
The collection, called Ford Vacul, is located in a former Amazon storage centre, between the towns of Ann Arbor and Detroit, in the American state of Michigan.
Unlike traditional museums, this space includes not only Ford’s best – known models but also vehicles that were used for testing and that were originally to be destroyed.
One of the most interesting models is an experimental Ford Mustang GT, which was used in the development of the Cobra R and Ford GT models.
According to company representatives, the vehicle had been hidden for years in warehouses to escape destruction.
Ford has recently modernised it and continues to use it for engineering purposes.
The collection also includes a 2000 Ford Contour SVT, a 1934 Ford truck owned by Jay Lenos, as well as some unusual concepts, including Ford Cougar II and SYNus.
Another feature is the first – time exposure of an early model of Ford Bronco, created in efforts to restore this vehicle to the market.
Ford plans to open the collection for the public as well, but is currently working with local authorities to meet legal and security requirements.
It has yet to be known when visitors can look closely at these rare vehicles. /Telegraphy/
