[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 377947, member: 12952"] I wonder why no one has mentioned the old ford P3's, the Econoline vans; regular and the bubbletops, the first automatic air vans. They were easy to drive, but had small brakes, never hit the brakes hard on a wet road the stopping distance was forever. UPS keep them on the roads until the P32 came along; way to long; most had no floors left, the heaters never worked( unless you got up to highway speeds and opened a vent to blow some engine heat into the cab ), and we had many cracked windshields by accident when someone tossed the clipboard up to the dash. If you happened to lock the keys inside, the trick was to keep pressing on the vent window until the locking clip released. My favorite air car was the caravan, front wheel drive, V-6, and tiny. I once stopped at a Chrysler dealership & no one there had a clue what I was driving.( All they had seen was the Grand Caravan ...which was twice the size ). When It came time to crush it , the mechanics took turns ramming it with the forklift. [/QUOTE]
