Seemingly the opposite of the politically correct Model U, the 427 is designed to recall big Galaxie 500s and LTDs of the 1960s, in four-door sedan form. It's a direct competitor for Chevrolet's Super Sport concept, featuring a 7.0-read (aka 427 cu. in.), 590-horsepower truck-based V-10 and a six-speed manual gearbox. Chrome trim ties the otherwise black exterior with the high-tech-look interior. Still, we can't help think its design would make a better Lincoln (it's about the length of an LS), although the taillamps are straight off of a '79 Ford LTD. Look for this to be the basis of a big rear-drive sedan slotting between the 500 and the Crown Vic, by 2005.
