It Creative Designs created this Ultimate Family Vehicle. The objective
was to build a quality performance vehicle: inside and out. The key was
to be able to have one vehicle that can do it all: anytime, anywhere.&nbsp;</FONT>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">The foundation would be the vehicle itself.
A 1995 Ford Explorer SUV, with its power, comfort and look. To build on
this foundation and enhance the versatility, performance, comfort and safety
of the vehicle was the desired goal. After countless hours and several
months of designing, fabrication, testing and various installations, The
Ultimate Family Vehicle has become a reality. All in part to all of the
dedicated contributors, whom without their efforts, this project would
not be possible. RCD is extremely thankful to all of the individuals involved
and is very proud to represent them.&nbsp;</FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">This SUV has captured 1st place awards
at every competition entered. It has been featured in domestic and international
publications. It has been a feature vehicle at SEMA since 1995, as well
as a feature vehicle at CES in 1997.&nbsp;</FONT>
