Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Marshall,
Is your question regarding the vehicle I circled? I think what you are looking at is a Ford Van.
The two small windows (with the arrow pointing at the one on the left) are for the rear barn doors. Those mirrors are definitely FoMoCo. I've been trying to find a replacement for one on my 75 F-250 and believe me when I say I have looked at a lot of 60's & 70's Ford West Coast style mirrors lately.
The pile of kids is most likely sitting on the hood of the large sedan, which looks like a Chevy judging from the taillight.

 

For everyone's consideration, 1969 Ford E-250 Club Wagon:

 

Thanks, Jeremiah. My mind didn't consider an Econoline. but I think you've got it.

 

And here is a VW Extended Cab for comparison.

 

That Texaco Station is one of the best examples of the station I worked part time at from '69 to '75. It's hard to find one online that close. Wish it showed the Pumps, lol.

BTW, the crashed '55 is a 2-Dr 210 model. A 150 wouldn't have any side chrome at all in '55.

 

Jeremiah, when I was a kid, about 1971, Mom and Dad traded their '66 Galaxie on a '71 Club Wagon Chateau. It was tu-tone white and blue, a shade or two darker than that blue. My oldest bro Fred got his own seat, Tim and Geoff got the rear seat, and my sis Liz and I shared the leftover seat, whichever one Fred didn't take.

Nice. I was into vans briefly when I came across a book about custom vans in the school library when I was in 3rd grade. We had a few when I was growing up, after we outgrew the Fury, but none like this. I have always liked the look of the late 60's/early 70's FoMoCo vans. Especially the short wheel base models.

 

You bet, happy to help.
