User:SteveCof00/Ford 427 (concept car)

The Ford 427 is a concept car that was designed by Ford Motor Company. It was originally shown at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. The 427 (the cubic-inch displacement of its engine) was considered a new look into the design of the full-size, rear-wheel drive sedan.

Design
The inspiration from the shape for the 427 stems from a 2002 interview given by Ford Design Director J Mays. In the interview, he commented that there was a "need" for a “broad shouldered sedan that was unmistakably American, but borrowed its tailoring and craftsmanship from European luxury models.” For the 2003 show, Ford avoided an overtly retro influence, but paid homage to the straight-lined designs of its mid-1960s full-size models. Like its predecessors, the 427 was given a long hood and a short deck.
