Ford Futura

It was discontinued again for the XC Series of 1976 and reappeared in the ED range of 1993.

Ford Futura was scheduled to denote a new sedan entry for the North American market in 2005 (the 2006 model year),[1][2] the car it was destined for was renamed Ford Fusion while still under development, due to a trademark dispute.

Futura proved to be owned by the Pep Boys auto parts chain, due to a tire line marketed by them under that brand.

In the 1950s, the 1955 Lincoln Futura show car was produced; it was modified in 1966, used as the basis for the Batmobile in the Batman television series.

In the 2000s, Ford in the Netherlands sold Futura special editions of many of its mainstream models.
