Re: Did Ford have COPO cars?
Ford had (and has) a fleet order system; so did every other manufacturer. But it was never used to get around internal chassis/powertrain restrictions. Not in the 60's, anyway. The situation at Ford was entirely different than the situation at Chevy, thus there was no need for a similar process. When and if the need did arise for a "special" car, it was simply approved and either built on the assembly line, assembled by an outside vendor, or screwed together in the engineering garage, depending on the quantity specified and the level of modification needed.
