2009 Ford Flex by Chip Foose




Contemporary suburban luxury

Star of Overhaulin� and the hottest custom car designer on the scene, Foose gave the Flex a look of contemporary suburban luxury that accentuates its already stand-out good looks.

Riding on Foose Design 22-inch wheels and Eibach springs customized for a lower appearance, the Foose Flex exterior features a custom-mixed, tow-tone blue and cream pearl paint job.

Inside, this color scheme continues with three-tone blue, gray and tan premium leather surfaces by Katzkin Leather.

Custom front and rear fascias and rocker panels are complemented by a custom wrap-around chrome beltline. Additional exterior details include painted appliqu� door handles and a relocated license plate. With custom upper and lower grilles and bold FORD lettering across the front and rear, the Foose Flex reflects the right amount of expressive luxury appeal.

�When Ford called, I was quite excited to be one of the first to get my hands on the Flex,� says Foose. �I didn�t want the individual pieces I added to be the most eye-catching parts. I wanted it to look as if it came from Ford�s design studio.�

Ford Flex

The 2009 Ford Flex is set to redefine the modern American journey when it goes on sale in summer 2008. This vehicle sets a higher standard for style, features, functionality and comfort in the industry�s fastest-growing crossover segment.

The 2009 Flex will come straight from the factory with several key features and technologies, including:

  • Two-tone roof � An all-black greenhouse � a Ford first � that visually integrates the body with the available two-tone roof. Customers can pair a White Suede or Silver roof option with one of Flex�s 10 available exterior colors or choose a body-color roof.
  • High-tech lighting � Available HID headlamps and LED taillamps, plus 7-color programmable ambient lighting in the console, footwells and cupholders.
  • Available refrigerator � Unlike competitors� systems that merely keep cold beverages cool, the Flex�s compressor-driven refrigerator can cool up to seven 12-ounce cans, four half-liter bottles or two 20-ounce bottles from room temperature to 41 degrees in approximately two-and-a-half hours. That�s 40 percent faster than a standard home refrigerator.
  • Multi-Panel Vista Roof� � It not only brightens the interior, it gives Flex occupants seated in each row their own skylight.
  • EasyFuel� System � Flex�s capless fuel filler saves time by doing away with unscrewing and replacing a fuel-filler cap and provides a better seal, cutting down the emissions of smog-forming vapors.
  • Ford SYNC�, Ford�s industry-exclusive, voice-activated hands-free in-car communications and entertainment system. This available system fully integrates mobile phones and digital media players into the vehicle.
  • The SYNC in-car communications system was developed in collaboration with Microsoft and will be offered exclusively on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles this year.
  • Big wheels � Standard 18-inch or available 19-inch bright aluminum wheels that plant the crossover firmly on the road.
  • Ford�s exclusive second-generation door-entry keypad � Housed within the vehicle�s black B pillars, the flat-panel, backlit keypad eliminates the need for door-mounted buttons and gives customers the ability to unlock doors, disarm the alarm system and disable the auto-lock function by entering a five-digit code.
