Cutaway Drawing of 1961 Ford Econoline Delivery Van

01

Artifact Overview

Ford took a cue from Volkswagen's popular Type 2 Transporter vans and introduced its own Econoline vans for 1961. This cutaway view shows that, unlike the rear-engine Volkswagen, Ford's Econoline mounted its engine just behind the front axle, with a driveshaft sending power to the rear wheels. The Econoline was built on the compact Ford Falcon platform.
