In defense of the author I think perhaps he took out of context things Wayne Koester was saying, or perhaps Wayne Koester was hinting at current going on's regarding the new Ford Bronco and used the Flex/Fairlane as a historic example as to not upset Ford.
There might even be a possibility that Wayne Koester was remembering an earlier Flex/Fairlane scheme that didn't even make the public's eye at the concept level and was a wind tunnel only scale model.
However all those excuses aside there in an underlying faulty base that the author was working from I suspect. Again some more photos to make the theories at work stick would have prevented the leaps we read through.
