In 1957, Ford Motor Company's Advanced Design Activities Unit produced a prototype "Car for the Millenium" at Ford's Detroit HQ. A model was built by Alex Tremulis, the director of the unit and fellow designer Bill Balla. The X2000 designs were recently found in the Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan, and a full-size car was built by Andy Saunders, a car mechanic from the UK (Report in The Express, Monday, May 17, 1999).
