1995 Ford E-150 Handicap Waldoch Conversion Van on 2040-cars

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. |

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
Chris Harris drives the 2015 Ford Mustang Over There
Thu, Jul 30 2015Ford makes some cars for America, and some cars for overseas. Sometimes those models cross over the ocean in one direction or another, but the Mustang has historically been a pony car meant for America. That all changes with the new model, though. It's not that Ford didn't design the new Mustang for American customers – it's just that it also refined it for markets overseas that aren't quite used to the live-axle brutality to which muscle car enthusiasts in the US have grown accustomed. Now that the Mustang is being offered in Europe – and in the UK with right-hand drive – it was only a matter of time before Chris Harris got his hands on one. And that's just what he's done for this latest video clip, taking a Mustang GT for a spin on both road and track in Wales. That's right, Harris is piloting the V8 model, not the EcoBoost four. So what does he think about an American expat shipped to the British isles? You'll want to watch the ten-minute clip yourself to gather his full impressions. But the long and short of it is that, while Harris doesn't think it's quite the match for something like a BMW M3, the Mustang doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the Bimmer. And that goes a long way, especially with all that rubber laid down on the track in the process.
Ford starts GoDrive carsharing service in London
Thu, May 28 2015Automaker-supported carsharing services like BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go are already well established in many cities around the world. Ford is no stranger to this business, either, with collaborations with companies like ZipCar in the US and Flinkster in Germany. Now, The Blue Oval is taking a new step by establishing its own dedicated offering in London called GoDrive. The operation is actually the expansion of an earlier 100-person pilot program and allows the automaker to test out ideas on a small scale. GoDrive is now growing to support 2,000 people in London, and they can share 50 vehicles that are scattered around 20 locations in the city. The fleet is split between Focus Electric models and Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoosts. One of the major selling points for the service is that users can take one-way trips through the city and have a guaranteed parking spot at their destination. Like any high-tech service today, much of the user interface for GoDrive works through a smartphone app that allows users to book cars and pay for trips. The driving is covered under an all-inclusive, pay-by-the-minute model, which includes London's congestion charge, and the first five minutes are free. To entice new users, the company is currently offering a free membership and 20 pounds ($31) in credit to sign up. GoDrive's small size also lets it gather and adjust to customer feedback quickly. For example, users reportedly enjoy getting to try out a vehicle with the latest infotainment and safety features. The company is already working on different pricing plans and parking options for the future, as well. The video below shows a little more the service in action.
