The Ford Aurora Concept was a futuristic station wagon design study created by Ford’s director of styling, Gene Bordinat, and presented at the 1964 New York auto show. The asymmetric configuration had a single driver’s door on the left, with two doors on the right, and a clam-shell rear tailgate. Inside, the rear seat was curved, the front passenger could swivel to face the rear, the driver used a curved yoke to steer the car, and had an intercom to communicate with the children in the rear “romper-room.” The windshield could be dimmed at the touch of a button, and there was a rudimentary navigation system.Â
