Original Toronto Star caption: Ford Motor Co. designer Howard Payne of Dearborn; Mich.; gave Canadians a look at this future concept car yesterday. The Probe IV bodywork was done by Ghia of Turin; Italy. Its drag coefficient is expected to below 0.20 - and the better the coefficient the lower the wind resistance. Payne was in town to visit Philco-Ford of Canada Ltd.; an electronics subsidiary expanding in Markham. [Incomplete]
