The rest of the world knows this line of automobiles from the Ford Motor Company as the Ford Econoline Van or the Ford E series. However, if you travel to the Philippines, you would then know that in this region and area, the Ford Econoline Lorry is marketed and called the Ford Castle Van . Take a closer look though and you would notice the Ford Chateau Wagon is simply a similar automobile but has its differences with the Ford Econoline Van.

1961 was the year that the production of the Ford Econoline Wagon started. It was made to be a full-size lorry and it was mounted and made using the FR VN platform. Competition for this van includes the Chevrolet Express, the GMC Savana, the Dodge Runner , the Mercedes Benz Runner , and the Freightliner Runner . This line of full-size wagons were made for both load and passenger transportation. Looking at Ford’s line up for autos, the Ford Econoline Lorry and the entire Ford E series is very much related to the firm’s F series which is a line of pick up vans.

The Ford Econoline Lorry is already on its 4th generation of versions for this vehicle. The 1st generation was legendary for it turned into a success for utility companies that included the Bell Phone System. It was then a load truck and could take in 8 passengers inside.

It held more ergonomic controls as well as a full frame design. Come 1983, the logo of Ford that was a blue oval was now integrated into the front grille of the wagon. The 4th generation came in 1992 and this was a reworked version. This time around, the Ford Econoline Wagon came with a vast choice of engines for patrons’ diverse preferences and needs.
