Hello my name is loule of france and my dream ford econoline ex military panel ambulance 1963 it's my fantastic history for the econoline story http://i81.servimg.com/u/f81/14/88/83/37/img_9218.jpg
THANK YOU, the ford of it very difficult at our home(with us) in Europe, I am tres satisfied to have this van a big luck(chance) for me,
Bonjour. Bienvenue sur le HAMB. This might give you some inspiration... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178391
Loule, no offense but you and that pretty lady would look better in an elegant limousine than an old U.S. Army ambulance! Just kidding, (careless American humor...) When cleaned up, that Econoline has great potential. It has some 'history...'
Welcome. Got a thing for old military vehicles myself. Also have many memories of a front-row seat to the world sitting atop one of those warm engine covers.. I like it.
Hi there Loule, I just spent a weekend in your lovely countryside - driving from Calais to Brest and back via a lot of places. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. Now, the bad part - you're supposed to introduce yourself over on the Intro's page. I suggest you head over there soon, or some of the love is probably going to shrink. Anyway, welcome aboard. Cheers. Dad-Bud
Pretty awesome, a guy from France comes here all giggly about an Econoline--something many would walk right by without a second glance. Passion for this hobby comes in all different forms (and places) Welcome, Loule! Do a search of Church's posts--Coby's van is about as cool as an Econoline gets.
Looking forward to a great build thread, I hope. The craftsmanship of your countrymen displayed here on the HAMB has been formidable.
welcome, at last sundays swop meet there was a econoline camper van for around $2000. it was pretty cool.....my friend dragged me away from it.
Welcome! My father in law has an old Chevy ambulance (turned into a camper). He drove it through france once (barely fits through the small cobblestone streets). The unmistakable sound of the V8 resonates between the houses. There was an old man sitting on the corner who burst into tears because particularly the sound reminded him of the day the Americans came to liberate France from the German occupation at the end of ww2. The us military vehicles have a special meaning in Europe. I grew up knowing many people who lived through ww2 and it remains a very emotional topic. A lot of vehicles were left there as part of the Marshall program - unfortunately many disappeared over the years as europeans lean towards smaller more economical vehicles. Thumbs up for preserving this piece of history. Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone
