In the mid-1960s, Ford finally unveiled its large experimental gas turbine truck as the vehicle of the future, suitable for the new highways stretching over 65,000 kilometres across America, facilitating travel to every corner of the vast continent. The gas turbine was compact, powerful and could use any type of fuel; the truck would have an ultra-modern cab with every comfort and plenty of ground clearance.
We are going to recount the history of this unique truck, which you can see in the attached YouTube video, documentation rescued a few years ago from Ford's press archives. Among other smaller documents, there is a 16-page catalogue with a wealth of detail, which could be valued at over €100 due to its uniqueness and rarity.
