Ford Model U

This vehicle was first introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show.

Ford wanted this vehicle to be a modern 21st century interpretation to the original Ford Model T. The Model U used a 2.3-liter, four-cylinder supercharged, intercooled hydrogen internal combustion I4 engine which also used a hybrid electric transmission.

The Model U's exterior was soy-based[2] and the interior was highly automated.

It had a power-retractable canvas roof and could go from an SUV to a pickup truck with its automatic retractable behind.

The interior featured a slot system[clarification needed] to reduce clutter.
