Fess up, how many have actually been to the Ford Discovery Centre? For those in Vic, especially those in Geelong or Melbourne and haven't - for shame...
Anyhoo, on the back wall of the design studio behind the full size clay model of the BA GT, are two massive pictures. There are a few key details in these pics - 50th Anniversary, 2010...and they shares more than a few design cues like the leaked FPV Orion pics. Worth a look if you haven't seen them yet! Think the FDC hasn't left 'hints' before? When the centre first opened, the design studio had a number of plastic 'body' shapes (curvy to show off the paint in varying angles) in a range of fancy colours... colours like Phantom and Blueprint that weren't seen on actual models until a few years later. What other things might lurk in the depths of FDC design studio, left there by designers hinting at what might come?

Good eyesight mate. I visit the FDC on a regular basis and have also noticed things like this. The FDC oozes nostalgia but also shows the future of Ford Australia.

I'm guessing no cameras are allowed in the FDC?
