Ford Falcon Econoline Club Wagon & Club Wagon Camper, 1962/3. The first generation E-series was a forward control van with the engine placed amidships between the front seats. It was designed to compete with the rear-engined Chevrolet Corvair van and Volkswagen Transporter. In addition to commercial and pick-up variants, the Club Wagon was a passenger and leisure oriented model. It was powered by the Falcon straight 6 141 and 170ci engines
The Chrysler Corporation began developing the A100 in both van and pickup truck variants in the early 1960s specifically to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Type 2, Ford Econoline, Chevrolet Van, and the Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier.The A100 was sold under the Dodge nameplate, and interestingly the cab would later be used on the large L-series medium-duty cabover engine Dodge trucks with a forward tilting mechanism to access the engine.The design of the Dodge A100 was strongly influenced by other vans, particularly the VW Type 2 and the Ford Econoline. It had the same split windshield as the Type 2, similar dimensions, and body styling close to the early examples of the Ford.A simple steel unibody structure was used for the A100, with the driver and passenger positioned up front in a cab-over-engine layout with the engine between them. This afforded maximum space for cargo in the rear for both the van and pickup truck variants.
When ordering your A100 you had the option of choosing from five engine variants (depending on year), these included the 101 bhp 2.8 liter slant-six, the 125 bhp 3.2 liter slant-six, the 145 bhp 3.7 liter plant-six, up to the 210 bhp 5.2 liter V8. There were two transmissions on offer, a three-speed manual or a three-speed automatic.
Ford Econoline Chicane Concept,1996. A design study for a superbike racing team support vehicle, the Chicane was based on an E-350 powered by Ford's then-new 265hp, 6.8-litre V-10. The interior featured 4 captain's chairs, a rear-seat VCR player, and Siemens TetraStar navigation system. The rear compartment was separated from the main cabin by a bulkhead and was fitted with a fold-out workbench and tool chest
1963 , or thereabouts. Suspiciously clean Convoy drawbar rig with a Ford product load so mixed it's probably a publicity shot. Econoline minibus at the front, T-bird on the top deck, along with an unusual little flat bed at the back
