2. Ford built a nice-sized van in the 1960s that got 28 mpg |
|
It was called the Ford Transit. When I spent a year in France in 1968 and playing rock and roll, my band had one to transport all our equipment. The van had a small four-cylinder engine and manual transmission. It didn't have very much power and didn't accelerate like a dragster, but it hauled a lot of stuff and could get you to and from any place you wanted to go.
Unfortunately, they were only built in Ford's European plants and weren't brought to the United States.
