Another ‘What is this, please?’

Custom or stock? It’s like a 1970s living room. ?

Probably a Ford concept car, based on a 1969 station wagon.

1969 Ford Aurora II.  Google lens never fails!

Looks like something Ford would have on display at the new car auto shows of old. While maybe not practical for a family car of the day, it sure looks good to me. The back seat is fashioned after the Thunder Bird wraparound rear seating.

It's Awesome! That's what it is!

Doesn't look like there is any kind of latch to keep those doors closed.

Wraparound 3rd row too. Needs a bar for mom and dad hauling kids. 
Burled wood grain needed I’d think too. 
Pimptacular.

That is so cool... but I love station wagons to my wife's chagrin.

I think it was intended to be an executive, mobile business office. Having meetings while traveling somewhere. Hence, the rear facing passenger seat.

[Mark]

Chrysler actually offered a setup somewhat like that on the Imperial for a couple of years (mid/late Sixties).  The passenger front seat could be turned to face the rear seat, and there was a small desk.  I believe it was called the Mobile Director option.  Special-Interesr Autos magazine once got their hands on one ('67 or '68) for an article.

Never took off, because limousines do it better!

It looks good! Pillarless! How would the doors secure? I'm not sure Ford ever offered a four door wagon in any form but sedan style doors.

[Mark]

The doors would latch into the floor, like the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham (the one Revell did the kit of, that Atlantis now has).  Not the most practical, but this was a concept and those were seldom meant to be practical.

Was this the same car used in one of the Matt Helm movies?

65 Merc wagon that had turning front pass seat and wraparound couch in back. Was a factory showcar at one point. Preceded the one in earlier post.

If you look at the rockers, there appears to be a couple hoops just below where the doors would close over. Likely used latches for the barn door style side and back doors on the Econoline vans.

That seat would scare the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of the kids. You would not have to swing your arm wildly, Just turn around and give the look.
