COMING & GOING
Ford introduced it's "car of the future" under a new brand and amid considerable publicity on September 4, 1957. Models of this new brand included Citation, Corsair, Pacer, Ranger, Bermuda, Villager and Roundup. Unfortunately, these cars turned out to be unattractive, overpriced, and overhyped.

Ford announced the end of the program on November 19, 1959 and the very name of the brand became a popular symbol for a commercial failure.
