That car is amazing.  Both doors work, too!  Can't imagine it'd be very safe, say in a wreck/fire.

Very cool, but I highly doubt that car was a factory authorized concept, and if it was and the story of "all evidence be destroyed" is true that guy's in possession of stolen property. The car certainly wouldn't be legal to drive, and Ford would never sell a concept like that and allow it to be driven - you know there's no way in hell that car has ever been tested and certified by NHTSA...

well i hope its not a donk thing b/c then it ruins the whole concept.  b/c next thing you know you'll see skyjacked regals and caprices with 48's with these doors and no one but them will want them.  i think this is a pretty futuristic thing...  as i see it could work on a "car of the future" it also kinda seems kinda... meh i dunno cheap?  still a cool mod.

it says the concept was created by another company, and they sent it to Lincoln to have the "executive approval". which they declined.

I wonder how many door openings you get out of a tank of CO2.
The whole thing looks Rube Goldberg to me.

Inside the car looks like $hit with no door panels. Like daboss said trunk looks like hell. my opinion not worth it.id take alot less and buy a normal Mark VIII if i wanted one.
