Huh? Ford Flex Voted as the 2009 Collectible Vehicle Of The Future

Take that GM and Chevy Camaro owners. According to the predictions of the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC), from all the new cars and trucks launched in the USA in 2009, the most desirable collectible in 25 years from now will be the Ford Flex.

Yes, you read correctly, the members of the organization, which supports the automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library, believe that the vehicle most likely to turn heads at the Woodward Dream Cruise of 2034 is Ford's overgrown Scion - no pun intended.

"This selection is unique among all the 'Vehicle of the Year' awards, because it is selected by car buffs who know what future collectors will value," said Charles K. Hyde, chairman of the NAHC Board of Trustees. "We asked our members to predict which of this year's new vehicles will turn heads in the Woodward Cruise of 2034."

Since we consider Carscoop readers to be car buffs themeselves, we invite you to share your thoughts on which new vehicle launched in the U.S. in 2009 will most likely capture your attention in 25 years from now.
