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.

Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.

Ford applies to trademark term 'Lincoln eGlide'

Thu, Apr 30 2020

There's an epilogue to Ford's recent announcement that it's giving up on a battery-electric Lincoln co-developed with Rivian. The MachEClub forum discovered that just a week ago, Ford applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the term "Lincoln eGlide." The goods and services category details use for "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, electric vehicles and structural parts and fittings; electric vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and structural parts and fittings." Living in an age where a small "e" is shorthand for "electric," and Ford having specified electric vehicles in the patent, the go-to guess is that this is for an electric vehicle. The inclusion of non-electric motor vehicles injects a little fuzziness. Tesla's trademark on the Model S specifies "electric automobiles" only, whereas Rivian's trademark for the R1T seeks coverage for "land vehicles" and just about every part found in or on a land vehicle.   Since Ford must have known about the end of the Rivian effort when it applied for the trademark, we suppose Lincoln has got some kind of eGlide coming no matter what. Lincoln refers to the theme of its latest cabin designs, as in the Aviator and Corsair, "Quiet Flight," and the road-scanning adaptive suspension on the Lincoln Aviator is called "Air Glide," neither term being trademarked. This leads our suspicions to eGlide becoming a vehicle component that could potentially serve a model with any powertrain, not necessarily battery-electric only, and eGlide won't be the name of the Lincoln EV that Ford says is still on the way. Another clue is that Ford included the word "Lincoln" in the term. Trademarked vehicle names such as Aviator and Corsair don't include the make, but services for vehicles do, such as the trademarks for Lincoln Connect and Lincoln Co-Pilot 360. We'll admit that a little bit of hope informs this line of thinking as well. Ford having done Lincoln the fabulous service of giving Lincolns terrific names, we'd be aghast if the Corsair and Navigator had to share showroom space with an eGlide. We've no choice but to wait for a retail product to provide answers. In the meantime, if we could just get to the bottom of this "Fastor Charge" trademark, and what's this bit about "Vandemonium?"   Related Video:        

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
