Love to chat on this one - I don't know of any sketches, can't recall seeing any for a long time on the interwebs. Hopefully our resident secret Ford posters that live in the design studios at Ford might pop a little pic of a tasty morsel or 3 onto this thread. Certainly the historic ones from FPV wouldn't be exposing any trade secrets.

Any way we can tag these posters?

WTF is with your attitude. Tune people up for providing more than you have then knock the designs...what can you knock up with MS paint?

Anyone else thinks those HO vehicles look absolutely laughable, maybe except perhaps for the XD. And wasn't Mr Steve Park the one who penned the AU Falcon?

I agree, every car on that page look absolutely awful, but then I've never been a fan of any kind of body add-ons (the spoiler is the most appropriately named item of all time) but that's just my opinion.

If Park was behind the AU it might have been his finest effort!

Steve Park, as in the designer of the AU Falcon, and the AU Forte Grille . Wonder if he got the sack after that . Lost all respect for Phase Autos when I seen this "HO Interceptor" FG though, looks like what some P plater would have done to his VE Dumbledoor

Oh, I don't know. I reckon if you got rid of the bonnet vents and clips (I think?) it would look pretty good (from that pic).
