2/3/20 38/100 Ford Econoline Panel Van

It was already coming:  Ambulance in 1997, Box Truck in 1999, Matchbox finally makes the Econoline van as a typical panel van for 2000 complete with a roof rack that has a ladder and two pipes for storing wires on the roof.  It was long overdue and well worth the wait.  The front has detailed headlights, oval grille, all metal body, side door handles, and rear taillights with split doors.  All nicely done and joins the white body with earth flat map and the X33 shuttle roaring past the earth.  The downside is that there is no interior, no surprise since the ambulance lacks it though oddly the box van has an interior.  The van has also come without the roof rack and is still used today, though in 2017 the van was updated to include a light bar on the roof, which is useless when the van is anything other than a police van.
