Arunas' 2021-02-22 SOLVED: Ford Alpencoupe Concept
« on: February 22, 2021, 05:29:00 AM »
Let's have some fun!

Please identify what is the make and model of this car?

Starting in Pro section, because I honestly think and hope that this one is extremely hard nut to fully crack.

Good luck! :)

P.S. This car and photo is not uploaded on my website, yet.

P.P.S. Are pro puzzles open to Master puzzlers?

The image appears to have been taken at Ford's Product Development Center in Dearborn in the 1960s. An early version of the Bearcat concept?

That's I'd say an easy part. What is the nameof it?
It was made at the same period as the Bearcat.

Was the name (or a version of it) also used by FMC on another car or concept?

I assume you've altered the lettering in the puzzle image, but was it a six-letter word?

No, I did not. Strangely, the name I have for it is more than 6 letters.

Was it branded/intended as a Ford (as opposed to Mercury, etc)?
