That's my wheelhouse right there. I remember them having shag carpet rugs in the shape of a foot on the floor. Walls of carpet. Wierd smell.

My dad had a 78 Dodge conversion van when I was young. I'd buy something like that in a heartbeat. Haha

1977 Ford. Did they run when they were new?



I remember the vans with the submarine windows in the back like that.

My '70s Ford Products:

'73 Mustang (base 302 2V Coupe)
'74 Maverick (250 I6, Coupe) Parents bought new for us kids
'76 F-150 Long Bed in the '80s & early '90s for a projects truck.

All forgettable but OK basic transportation.

IMO GM & Ford were neck-and-neck in that decade.

That van paint job is bad arse.

The Pinto paint fails IMO though. The stripes should either go to the front of the hood like the van or just keep going straight to the headlights. Crossing them over near the windshield looks weird to me.

We didn't keep cars too long then because they were worn out at 100k as American build quality was so bad.

We sold the Mav-Bomb in '79 at about 100k and I pity the poor bastardo who bought it.
