Huh? Ford Flex Voted as the 2009 Collectible Vehicle Of The Future

Take that GM and Chevy Camaro owners. According to the predictions of the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC), from all the new cars and trucks launched in the USA in 2009, the most desirable collectible in 25 years from now will be the Ford Flex.

Yes, you read correctly, the members of the organization, which supports the automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library, believe that the vehicle most likely to turn heads at the Woodward Dream Cruise of 2034 is Ford's overgrown Scion - no pun intended.

"This selection is unique among all the 'Vehicle of the Year' awards, because it is selected by car buffs who know what future collectors will value," said Charles K. Hyde, chairman of the NAHC Board of Trustees. "We asked our members to predict which of this year's new vehicles will turn heads in the Woodward Cruise of 2034."

Since we consider Carscoop readers to be car buffs themeselves, we invite you to share your thoughts on which new vehicle launched in the U.S. in 2009 will most likely capture your attention in 25 years from now.

Spare $15,000? Officially Licensed 1965 Ford Mustang Pool Table

Men love cars. Men like playing pool. It's easy to draw a simple conclusion: men would most likely love playing pool on a car. And that's how we imagine that the idea of creating a Mustang pool table was born. Made with a solid fiberglass body molded from a 1965 Mustang that can be ordered in various colors, the pool table comes complete with alloy rims and wheels.

And while the builder shortened the length of the car shell to fit the table, both the front and rear ends are the same size as the original 'Stang and feature working lights, chrome decals and bumpers.

The maker of the '65 Mustang pool table, 'Mustang Entertainment Inc.' plans to debut its newest product at next month's Barret-Jackson Auto Auction (Jan. 18, 2010 - Jan. 24, 2010).

The problem with the 1965 Mustang pool table, which by the way, is an official licensed product, is its price that will set you back a hefty $14,995. If you're still interested, the pool table can be ordered either online or over the phone by calling 727.827.8268.

Tokyo 2010: Toyota Supra IV Dressed Up as a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor

There have been countless efforts to replicate the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor from the 2000 blockbuster movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Nicolas Cage. We've seen Eleanor replicas based on everything ranging from a Toyota MR2 to even -the most ridiculous of all- a Smart Fortwo.

At this year's edition of the Tokyo Auto Salon, the students from Saitama University's automotive course presented their take on the Eleanor Shelby GT500 using a fourth generation (1993-2002) Toyota Supra sports coupe as a base.

The replica, which is called "Moto Supra", maintains the Supra's six-cylinder powerhouse, though it's not clear if the students performed any upgrades on the sport coupe's hardware. More photos after the jump.
