Goes to show you're human like the rest of us!

I had a '65 Econoline van when I was a kid, sowing my oats. Let's just say that most fathers who's daughters I dated wasn't too fond of it.

From what I've been told about how the A-100 came about. Ford came out with the E-line back in 62. The big boys at Mopar bought 4 of them and gave them to the drafters, engineers, techs, etc. and told them to come up with and build something better. Supposedly, they stripped them to nothing and studied every corner of them till there was nothing left. You see/know what happened in 64 with the new A series truck line. I'm not going to argue that story as both the E-line and Dodge A line of trucks looks awfully similar in a lot of ways. So now you know.

That's the story I remember also.

How did GM get it so wrong?

I was a farm boy! And no that's not the van I had. Mine was a '65, cab over style, with the extension on the back. I had all the comforts of home inside!

They had a ad campaign one time that said, "Nobody sweats the details like GM". I added to it, "And they Don't!"

 

[Budnicks]

Them GM Corvair vans & cab over trucks weren't too attractive
they did have a lot of room up front, no engine cover
