1995 Ford E-150 Handicap Waldoch Conversion Van on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
1995 Ford E-150 Waldoch Handicap Conversion Van.
Chassis: E-150 equipped with the "upfitter package" from Ford. This chassis was designed exclusively for the conversion industry; no seating, simply an aluminum pedestal base with a plastic seat for the truck driver to load from the Loraine OH manufacturing plant, onto the truck and unload at the converter destination. Equipped with the 5.4L V8, power windows, door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and keyless entry. Conversion: The conversion is by Waldoch Crafts of Forest Lake, MN. Waldoch was/is a leader in conversion vans and sport trucks and for several years running was ranked in highest quality by Ford Motor Company. You are viewing The Aspen Edition, a high end package built as a special edition for Waldoch dealers. I actually had input with the research and development department and manufacturing desighn division at Waldoch as I was a Zone Sales Manager for Waldoch at the time the van was built. The exterior features Sherwin Williams paint, with 3mm of cleat coat applied over the custom paint. Many folks think it is vinyl graphics used on lesser quality conversions, but is actually paint! Notice the full length board/flare combination running boards, also painted with clear coat as well. (3) vista bay tinted windows were installed and at the time the cut-outs were made to accommodate the windows, acid etching was performed on the cuts to ensure no rust around the windows. I'm sure you have seen vans with hideous rust around them as a result of cost cutting at time of installation. Not here. The roof rack is from Pro Rack and several accessories were available to fit in the cross bars. A front license plate step is a nice touch to conventianly step up and clean the windshield. The interior features a closed cell foam core floor, conforming to the van chassis ribbed floor. Closed cell and no moisture can get in. Unlike a cheaper plywood floor, the closed cell is waterproof and acts as a nice sound barrier. The carpet is a nylon continuous monofiliment weave, so no fibers can pull out. Very durable. The insulation is 3" Owens Corning pink fiberglass insulation. Remember where this was built...Minnesota! Lesser conversions used a blow in foam insulation containing formadehyde. Not good. The seating s from Flexsteel, the finest in the industry featuring a lifetime warranty on the seatings frames. I was so impressed, my family room has Flesteel furniture. The rear sofa bed is power, allowing it to power fold complete into a sofa bed. Waldoch also installed Pro Aire rear heat and a/C, the best in the business. The vista bay windows are covered with full length shades with durable EZ operation. The wood trim is all black walnut cut to precise measurements with Waldoch's industry known CNC routers, assuring a perfect cut every time. More to show and tell later but I think you understand why we were the best in the industry and the conversions stand the test of time. Handicap Conversion: The power lift is the "Vangater 2" manufactured by Crow River, a member of the Braun family of Companies, a leader in handicap adaptive components. It's full power lifts the occupant safely out of the van and folds back up with power controls operated from the rear of the van and safely retracts back up into the van. Rhe drvers seat pedestal base is manufactured by Rincon, also a leader in innovation in mobility. It features a six way power pedestal with 180 degree turn for easy access/transfer from front seat to chair. There are under dash mounted hand controls as well. Service/owner manuals are included. |

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
