![]() For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_E-Series ![]() This model has proven very popular, and is quite difficult to find at anything resembling reasonable prices...so I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found this one recently.

Somewhere along the line, someone more knowledgeable than I told me that the details showed this to be a 1966 Econoline. I don't remember if the '66 was the only one it could be, or if there was a range of years, but I do remember that roof design and maybe something to do with the grille made this one represent a '66. Here are mine: ![]() ![]() |

I remember reading that this van, the 1:1, belonged to one of the guys that worked for Jesse James. The seat covers on this model have the familiar FTW on them, to reflect Jesses attitude, I guess. |

A great choice. And my favorite van. As for a 66 model. Maybe. There is nothing on it that says 1966 tho. The roof detail does say not 61 or 62, that's it. The front grille was exactly the same 61-67. Some very early 1961's did have some reflectors that weren't carried forward, and the dashboard had some different details added or removed through the years. But, none of those are cast into this. Oh, and the 1967's had back-up lamps that are not there on the model. The rear bumper doesn't fit it, that rear bumper was 1961-62 only on the vans, through '67 on the pickups. Yep could be a '66, but could be a '63-65 also. In fact, my '65 is this one's twin, flat black paint and all. Not light one the roof tho, and no custom front seats, and no low-rider mode (unfortunately). |

Nice van. Wouldn't want to see this one attempting to plow through snow drifts, but a very cool diecast. |
