The 1964 New York World’s Fair saw the unveiling of Ford’s Aurora concept car. This futuristic station wagon boasted illuminated panels running along its body sides, showcasing a striking visual feature. It also boasted a sunroof that shifted from transparent to opaque with a simple push of a button, adding to its futuristic allure. Remarkably, instead of the traditional steering wheel, the Aurora featured a powered steering bar, needing just a half turn from lock to lock, hinting at innovative design and technology ahead of its time.
