does a shorter, cool e150 van exist?

Hi gang, I was wondering... do they make something like an E150 van but shorter (like a mini-van). I'm not talking about the "transit" van. More like the cooler, retro vans from the day, with a shorter wheelbase, sleek look to it, type of van, but a little newer. I'm not too keen on the newer, modern minivans of today. Thankfab

The last time they made a shorty E150 was back in the 80's.

This is obviously an aftermarket job. Look at the jump in the body panel just behind the door. Something from Ford wouldn't have had this.

LOL... Actually I think it's nothing but photoshop as there appears to be a line that extends up from the misaligned body panels through the trees above.

The dodges are best bet for a shorty. An Astro from chevy. I don't think the windstar from Ford counts.
