50th Anniversary Econoline

Finally found a 2011 E-Series sales brochure this week. Hadn't realized it was the 50th Anniversary for FORD Econoline. Don't recall it being mentioned here & Search turned up nothing.

FORD introduced the 1st generation Econoline, based on the Falcon, way back in 1961. My Uncle had a couple of these. Remember riding ontop of the motor compartment cover.

FORD introduced the 2nd generation Econoline in 1968 w/the motor moved out-front & incorporated their Twin-I-Beam front end.

FORD introduced the 3rd generation Econoline in 1975. It was built with full body-on-frame & came in 3 different wheel bases.

FORD introduced the 4th generation Econoline in 1992. The Club Wagon Chateau became 'Motor Trend" Truck of the Year.

FORD redesigned dash/interior & introduced Triton modular motors in 1997 & redesigned the front styling, dash & brakes in 2008.

FORD offered a special 50th Anniversary Package available in E-Wagon XLT for 2011.
