The Ford Airstream was a concept car built by Ford that made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The Ford Airstream was a retro-futuristic crossover utility vehicle that was inspired by the classic Airstream recreational vehicle trailers built since the 1930s. The modern Ford Airstream concept included a plug-in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell drive system, called HySeries Drive, that operated exclusively on electrical power. Ford called the Ford Airstream Concept "a futuristic look at crossovers" as "modern touring vehicle(s)" for recreational travelers. The concept vehicle was designed in cooperation with Airstream, a division of Thor Industries.[1] The design and name of the Airstream were possibly influenced by the Ford Aerostar.
