  • Vintage Lettering: 1962 Ford “Rudy’s Laundry” Van

    Vintage Lettering: 1962 Ford “Rudy’s Laundry” Van

    The E-Series Ford van is the company’s second-longest-running nameplate, only outdone by the F-Series line of trucks. The Econoline (for cargo) and Club Wagon (for people) were introduced in 1961 as replacements for the F-Series van and the model line is now in its fourth generation, though the Ford Transit stole some of the thunder beginning in 2015. This ’62 Econoline was once used for delivering dry cleaned garments as per the graphics that have survived all these years. From Calgary, Alberta (Canada), this Ford is available here on eBay where the bidding has reached $3,150 and there is a reserve to be met. (more…)

  • Retro Cool: 1962 Ford Econoline Custom

    Retro Cool: 1962 Ford Econoline Custom

    When I first saw this 1962 Ford Econoline, my immediate thought was that it was a beautifully-preserved older custom build. It isn’t. What this vehicle represents is a freshly finished retro-custom project that is ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. The attention to detail is extremely impressive, and there is no doubt that it is a vehicle capable of knocking people’s socks off at any car show. After putting all of the hard work into creating this unique vehicle, the owner has decided to part with it. That means that his loss could potentially be your gain. The Econoline is located in Dayton, Ohio, and has been listed for sale here on eBay. Bidding has reached $23,600, but the reserve hasn’t been met. Interest is high on this cool classic, and there are currently 187 people who are watching the listing. (more…)

  • Flat Faced Ford: 1964 Ford Econoline Truck

    Flat Faced Ford: 1964 Ford Econoline Truck

    When cabover vans first arrived on the scene, the obvious idea was to pack as much interior space into the design as possible.  Putting the driver next to the engine allowed for more storage, but didn’t leave much crush space in case of an accident.  Mandated crash testing ultimately put some much needed distance between the driver and whatever they might impact.  Still, the profile on these vans, and also the truck versions, is timeless and cool.  Take for example this 1964 Ford Econoline truck being sold on eBay out of Markleysburg, Pennsylvania.  A very solid barn find, this nifty little truck has relatively little rust and has only been bid to $710.  Do you think anyone might be interested in paying the $8,000 buy it now price?

  • Grandma’s Van: 1983 Ford Econoline XL

    Grandma’s Van: 1983 Ford Econoline XL

    It’s indisputable that “vanning” culture is making a comeback these days – it’s even got a trendy hashtag (#vanlife) to go along with its revival.  Unfortunately, while the commodification of an automotive niche often leads to rising prices on parts and vehicles, it also brings out well-preserved and period-correct examples, such as this 1983 Ford Econoline XL that Barn Finds reader Russell G. found here on Craigslist.
