Low, smooth and sleek, with space-age design and a unique computerized travel information console, Saturn II is a far-out variation of Ford Division's 1969 Thunderbird.

Saturn II begins with a narrow scoop air-intake design. A brilliant new inset-grille features center-mounted dual roadlamps next to the grille's center divider. Built-in twin lights are flush-mounted in both front fenders.

Recessed horizontal fins circulate air to cool front power disc brakes.

Wide wheel rims with reflective paint on hub centers, plus wide-oval radial ply tires, provide another stylish focal point for the car.

Roof pillars sweep back to a new, flatter deck lid. In the back panel, a unique, narrow taillamp registers a bright row of red when the brakes are applied.

The rear fenders' horizontal, dual-purpose side-lights pivot outward and become white backup lights when the driver shifts into reverse.

Door handles operate like the interior squeeze-type door releases on 1969 Thunderbirds.

The rich-looking Saturn II interior is handsomely tailored in gold metallic fabric to complement the exterior color. Plush carpeting covers the floor and lower door panels. Thickly padded one-piece molded bucket seat shells comfortably cradle the driver and passenger.

Travel information monitors and controls are located in the center of the instrument panel and along the center console. The monitors advise the driver as to direction, when to turn and the road and traffic conditions that lie ahead.

After placing a punched, "trip control" computer card in a slot at the top of the console, the driver of this futuristic car theoretically could monitor his way to a preselected destination. Pictures projected on a small screen in the upper left portion of the control panel would show the driver the distance and direction of the next turn.

Displayed on another screen in the upper right portion of the panel would be pictures showing a map layout of the route ahead. A radar screen in the center of the panel would provide a clear view of traffic ahead, regardless of weather and visibility conditions.

Also included on the console are a two-way citizen's band radio and portable tape recorder. A microphone in the headlining above the instrument panel allows the driver to tape record or transmit over the radio while keeping both hands on the steering wheel.
