Posted by: robert / Category: Car News, Eco-friendly Cars, Ford, Motoring, Motoring News
If you remember we were looking towards 2030 to see which cars would suit those times, well there’s a curious kind of futuristic award from the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC): Collectible Vehicle of the Future! Well, more specifically 2034.
“The NAHC is the world’s largest public archive of automotive lore and a treasure for automotive historians, journalists and collectors. Its collection of books, manuals, photos, company histories and historic documents is open to the public.”
This year, they pinned the award as the Collectible Vehicle of the Future 2009 on the Ford Flex. The reason?
“We are delighted that the Ford Flex has been recognized by the NAHC as having a design that will become a collectible of the future,” said Kate Pearce, Flex marketing manager at Ford.
“We knew from the start that we had a vehicle with stand-out design that looks like nothing else on the road, but that also meets the needs of our customers looking for passenger space with innovative technology and great fuel economy,” she said. “Reaction from our customers has been fantastic and we hope they will enjoy their cars long into the future.”
Previous winners were:
- 2008 Dodge Challenger
- 2007 Dodge Viper SRT10
- 2006 Pontiac Solstice
- 2005 Ford Mustang
- 2004 Chrysler 300
- 2003 Dodge Viper
- 2002 Ford Thunderbird
- 1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
- 1995 Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Aurora
It’s great that the judging body has taken into its criteria the vehicle’s fuel economy features. It looks like the future’s going to be more green come the year 2034.
