what is the ford super chief? i was listening to a radio station that was talking bout being at a ford dealership to win tickets to Country USA in WI and at the end the guy said check out the super chief online. i am just curious is this just a concept truck or something they may be building in the future?

 

Its a concept from a few years back

 

i was reading in a couple forums about how they may have uses some of these features on the new f150

 

The last model Super Duty's and now the F150's took a lot of styling queue's from the Super Chief. Not totally faithful to the concept but you can see the carry over on some of the styling areas.

To give some more back round info on what the Super Chief was that Ford designed you need to know what the original Super Chief was. It was a passenger train operated by the Santa Fe Rail Road. A stream lined and powerful luxury train meant for hauling people. Exactly what Ford was echoing in their "new to come" Super Duty and F150 redesigns. A powerful, luxurious, and beautiful truck that could carry your family to church and keep the farm running all in one package.

 

and they were fugly, good thing they didnt go into production...
