Unveiled at the 1964 World Fair, “Big Red“ was a 96 ft long super-truck powered by an experimental gas turbine engine, designed for the “exciting decade ahead“. The engine delivered 600 HP and had a range of 600 miles. The cabin accommodation on this huge vehicle is rather refined with a fridge, oven and drinks dispenser. The passenger also got a television set that was shielded to avoid the driver being distracted. This style of truck never made it to mass production but it is fascinating to see how Ford designers were looking to the future of long-distance haulage in the mid-1960s
