1980 Ford Pockar (Ghia)

The Pockar, named as "pocket car", featured luggage compartments built in to the exterior door panels. Both side doors were cut horizontally 3 the middle, and the lower portion dropped like a tailgate. In addition to the two lockable luggage compartments built into the doors, there was ample luggage space inside and room for four passengers. The rear seat could also be folded down flat for increased cargo capacity. The side door luggage compartments protruded into the interiors of the doors, and served as armrests. Electronic instruments on the dashboard were clustered in a semi-circular pod which was clearly visible through the upper half of the steering wheel.

Concept Car Central

Pockar meant pocket car. Small and narrow, yet tall, this concept was about space efficiency.

Pockar had room for four occupants and luggage. Its beige-coloured exterior featured two-segment doors cut horizontally. The upper portion of the door opened conventionally, but the bottom portion folded down like a tailgate.

Pockar incorporated luggage compartments into the exterior door panels. The rear seat could be flat-folded to accommodate bulky items.
