What's wrong with that? They were longroofs also. I remember Coca-Cola having a couple contests to give away Ford vans with Levi's denim upholstery, back in the late Seventies; as a junior high schooler, I put in as many entries as I could get in, trying to win one. Sadly, it didn't happen.
I remember entering it too. I was 15 at the time so I don’t know what would’ve happened if I won, would it became my dad‘s van
"Would it have become my dad‘s van?" It would've depended on your state; in Washington, no one under 18 can enter into a contract by themselves, and in this case, the State. That's why my parents would've been listed as the legal owners, and I the registered owner.
Because it's a VAN! There was a decked out 4X4 F-150 in the same giveaway and it was 2nd prize! Behind a VAN!? Man the 70's were wild. Seriously though, I always thought custom vans were cool as a kid, although the custom van scene had already mostly fizzled out by the time I was aware of my surroundings. But cooler than a decked out 4X4 F-150 "Macho Machine"? Not a chance. And we had four vans when I was growing up, after we outgrew the Fury, three Dodges and one GMC so I had plenty of experience with them. Tell ya what fella's. You can share the van, and I'll take the truck.
Man, I was so confused by that FORD ad until I read the bottom of the page that says "FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF AUSTRALIA"
Man. Sears selling surplus engines. There must have been thousands and thousands of those things packed and ready to ship to the front when the war ended. What a time that must have been. Could anyone predict a future in which Sears had disappeared?
