1970s Ford Excursion

Most of you guys and girls aren't old enough to have seen one of these or even recall them being manufactured. They were mass produced and sold in Mexico. They were the closest thing to a Ford Excursion that Ford was manufacturing in the mid 1970s. (And keep in mind that Mexico also had the only 2006 Ford Excursions.)

You see the 2 red palm trees in the white oval sticker? That's In-n-Out burger chain out West here. They make great burgers and fries and shakes. All fresh ingredients, etc. Their fries are cut from peeled potatoes right there before your eyes.

Google it and you'll see.

I would love to have one of those. I always wish Ford would have produced a 2door Excursion or at least bring back the 2 door Bronco. I guess that is just wishful thinking because the upcoming CAFE ratings are going to be partially determined by wheelbase. The longer the wheelbase the worse the mpg can be.

I've never seen one of those before. Do you have any additional photos of the interior? Very curious looking truck/excursion.....

What would it have been called? That is pretty cool and would definitely look better in a different color!

No. It was hard enough to find this one image. This was way back before the digital camera.

I've never seen one in person myself. .

That green was a popular color in the mid 70s Ford trucks.

My father had a two tone F150 in light green and dark green, the dark green being the same color as above.

It's the grandfather of the modern day Excursion.
