| Title | Ford Seattle-ite XXI, Century 21 Exposition, 1962 |
| Photographer | Ford Motor Company |
| Date | 1962 |
| Notes | On verso: Four steerable drive wheels in front are featured in Ford Motor Company's newest dream car, the Seattle-ite XXI. The unique six-wheeler, conceived in the company's Advanced Styling Studio in Dearborn, Mich., envisions such advanced concepts as a travel-programming computer, variable-density glass, jalousie windows and fingertip steering. Ford stylists believe the four-wheel, front drive concept would greatly enhance tracking, traction and braking efficiency. The Seattle-ite XXI will be a feature of the Ford exhibit at the Seattle World's Fair from April 21 through October 21. --News Bureau, Adventure in Outer Space, Ford Motor Company, Seattle World's Fair
The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
