The Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco concept was unveiled in 2004. It was reminiscent of the original Ford Bronco include the boxy, upright roofline, short wheelbase, round headlamps and the Bronco nameplate milled into the modern three-bar grille.
A winch and guide rollers were integrated into the lower fascia. Exterior details include exposed door hinges, cowl vents and flared wheel wells. Unique loop-shaped door handles are integrated into the door panels and open with a tug. Given the collapse in demand for SUVs in the United States, it is doubtful that this concept will ever make it into production.

The whole idea behind the Ford Airstream concept was to create a vehicle for adventures, touring and traveling long distances in a unique design. It would have been powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
