modern econoline-TIME FOR THE VAN GODS

[0tobe60in10minutes]

if anyone has noticed, many automakers have not put alot of thought into vans. i mean yes the mini van scene has exploded in the last 3 years, and the new honda and nissan do look good, its time for some stylized, work horses right?!?! well i believe every car on the road should be a work of art, including commercial and or vans, and trucks.

so here i am. a modern econoline!

heres my rendition of a modern econoline super cab truck.


if you guys have any free time, go ahead and try somethin new and make a VAN WOOT WOOT!!! if you want.

other then that, any comments are appreciated i guess. thanks!

You are completely right.

Your design looks good, just clean the lines a bit and add some shading. I'll try one too if I can find time. Its a great idea of yours.

to me it seems a little out of perspective...but i have to admit that i like the idea of making new stuff...right on...

This looks good, I really like the old flat nose Ford and Dodge trucks and vans... I like wierd cars. Keep 'em coming!

very cool.

I found some time do do some quick sketches.

I guess they are quite ok but they are not as creative and futuristic as I expected them.

[Rob SWD]

those are some nice sketches knightvision

Thanks. The problem is I'm located in Germany and so the only way I know about your trucks overthere is television. I know Mack, Peterbilt and Ford trucks. I got no idea what your smaller delivery trucks look like. Like these FedEx uses. Do you still have these old brown UPS trucks overthere? I liked them a lot. Overhere, they were replaced with boring Mercedes trucks which are seen everywhere.

Yeah overhere we have Mercedes Sprinter for mail/food/washing machine/... delivery, ambulance and craftsmen, a few Iveco and some varoius other european small trucks.

And I know the A-Team Van lol.

The econoline looks alright, but like everyone said the perspectives a lil off, and personally i think it would look better without the bed
Those sketches are pretty cool knightvision i really like the gmc and the one big rig it looks like the volvo dumptrucks

hey those are really nice ideas.i love the GMC van its like a retro styled G10 van. also id agree with you guys, the perspective is off, and its quite ugly.

our heavy duty trucks here range from huge kenworths, freightliners, westernstars, peterbuilts, sterling, volvo's and fords.

i believe some of the smaller trucks are made by either mitsubishi, iveco, sterling, and isuzu i beleive

and yes we have those UPS trucks, and you can here them a mile away cuz the drivers love over reving those engines.
