    1970 Ford LTD Country Squire 4x4 (experimental)

    Developed by Dana in the 1970’s, the V-Drive system was originally designed to add 4-wheel drive to vans and station wagons to keep the drive height low. This wagon belong to and was developed by the Dana Corporation in hopes that Ford would put the V-Drive in production. Unfortunately that never happened.

    Vehicle Engineering and Manufacturing Company (VEMCO) based out of Fort Wayne Indiana bought the rights and did 4×4 van conversions. These V-Drive systems found their way in to both Chevy and Ford Vans from 1976 to 1980. The company went out of business sometime during the 1980’s.
