Ford Vega
:''Not to be confused with the Chevrolet Vega, a 1970s subcompact.''
The Ford Vega was the winning entry in a Ford-sponsored automotive design contest completed in 1953. Only one example was created.
==Design==
Vince Gardner was a designer who began his career as a clay modeler working for Gordon M. Buehrig during the design of the Cord 810. The Vega was conceived as an entry to a Ford-sponsored design contest, Henry Ford II expressed interest and provided the additional financing needed for the completion of the lightweight, two-seat roadster. Gardner's design was two years in production and per the contest rules was based on an Anglia chassis, the lightweight body was fabricated from aluminum by metalsmith Emil Deidt. Some styling touches, such as the pop-up headlamps, were Cord-inspired details. Power came from a Phil Weiand-built Ford flathead V8 modified with dual carburetors, high-compression cylinder heads and tube-type exhaust headers. Celebrities such as Groucho Marx and Howard Hughes were offered private viewings of the Vega by invitation of Henry Ford II. Henry Ford II proudly displayed the car at the firm's 50th anniversary.
