Love these old FORD vans from the 60s - this is a wonderfully restored FORD Econoline

They always remind me of the Apollo era - the 60s had so much future promise

 

[Brian Moore]

Agreed! A fellow a block or two away has a Corvair van! Unrestored, but not in bad shape and it runs.

Nice shot, Chris.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

That's a classic, Chris...

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice one Chris. Shows the idea of an MPV did not arrive in the 1980's with the E'space.

 

[David Mitchell]

Yeah, it probably arrived in the early 40s and 50s in Germany, or indeed the VW van in the 60s

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Haven't heard that one in a while Chris. That was my era. I wasn't really aware that "the 60s had so much future promise"...of course I don't actually remember being aware...period.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I LOVE classics!!
Nice symmetry Chris

 

[Paul Lange]

I love the look of older cars. Once you start to look at cars made in the 90s onwards they all begin to look generic and the only thing that makes them different from each other is the badge.

 

[Pete Askew]

Excellent Chris. I like the difference in colour in the reflections.

 

[Beth Carter]

i love the crisscross paint pattern on the side of the blue van. totally retro. wonderful crop on the photo, nice and symmetrical.

 

[Pete Askew]

I think that must be an artefact of the X-Trans sensor Beth!

If you look under the bonnet I think you will find they are all the same nowadays!

I love the whole feel Nihat - and it looks so nice when it's all glossy and new again

True - and they look so happy with their 60s colors and clothes!

Thanks Dan - I had to tweak the crop a little to really get it lined up

Thanks Pete - Me too - couldn't have got nicer reflections in a studio I reckon

Thanks Beth - I cheated and cropped in PS to get it symmetrical
