Watching this almost makes me cry. I had a two-seater, hatchback, 90" wheelbase car on the boards while at Ford in 1967. The platform was based on the RS Escort you'll see
in the video. The high-paid geniuses in Ford's Product Planning said there was no market for the car! The 240Z Datsun came out the following year.

A double whammy is the T/A Mustang. I was at KarKraft when this an many other neat cars were done.
