Frequently Asked Questions about the Ford Econoline

Ford introduced the Econoline for the 1961 model year, releasing it in September 1960. It was built on the compact Falcon platform and used Falcon drivetrain parts on a 90-inch wheelbase, with the six-cylinder engine mounted behind the front axle, under a cover between the seats. Three body styles were offered at launch: a pickup, a delivery van and a passenger Station Bus.
Ford built four generations of the Econoline. The Falcon-based original ran from 1961 to 1967. A larger van with a short hood followed as a 1969 model and lasted through 1974. The third generation, sold from 1975 to 1991, moved to body-on-frame construction. The fourth arrived for 1992, the first redesign in 17 years, and the line later took the E-Series name.
Ford skipped the 1968 model year because a United Auto Workers strike delayed the second-generation van. The redesign had been planned as a 1968 model, but it went on sale in 1968 as a 1969 model instead. Some references list this generation as 1968-1974, others as 1969-1974. It rode on 105.5-inch or 123.5-inch wheelbases and was the first Econoline offered with a V8, the 302.
Yes, Ford sold an Econoline pickup from 1961 through 1967, only in the first generation. It shared the van's forward-control layout and had a bed about seven feet long. Because so much weight sat over the front axle, Ford fitted a 165-pound counterweight at the rear. The pickup came only with six-cylinder engines, and vans outsold it roughly nine to one.
Yes, the Falcon Station Bus and Falcon Club Wagon of the 1960s were passenger versions of the first-generation Econoline. The 1961 passenger model was sold as the Econoline Station Bus, and for 1962 Ford added Falcon-badged versions in Station Bus, Club Wagon and Deluxe Club Wagon trims. Passenger versions of the 1969 and later vans were sold as Club Wagons.
The Ford Econoline was built at Ford's Lorain Assembly plant in Lorain, Ohio, from its 1961 launch. The plant had opened in 1958, and its one-millionth vehicle, completed in April 1962, was an Econoline van. Ford of Canada also assembled Mercury-badged Econolines in Oakville, Ontario, starting in 1961. Lorain built its last Econoline in December 2005, and van assembly then moved to nearby Avon Lake, Ohio.
The Econoline switched to body-on-frame construction with the third generation, introduced for the 1975 model year. The first-generation vans had used unit construction, and a separate frame was new to the full-size van market. The redesign also had a longer hood with the engine moved farther forward, wheelbases of 124 and 138 inches, and E-100, E-150, E-250 and E-350 models. It stayed in production through 1991.
Yes, the Econoline and the E-Series are the same Ford van line under two names. The line debuted as the Econoline in 1961, and Ford later renamed it the E-Series. Ford discontinued the van and wagon after the 2014 model year, replacing them with the Transit, while cutaway and stripped-chassis versions of the E-Series stayed in production.
