Ford Econoline – Full color 10″ x 13 1/4″ ad for the 1965 Ford Econoline Vans. At the top of the page it shows an overhead view of the Regular Economy Size van and the New Giant Economy Size van, showing that the second one has 23% More Loadspace. The ad text tells us that “Now America’s biggest-selling van – Ford’s Econoline Van – has a new teammate, Econoline Super Van. Between the two, an Econoline can do almost any delivery job. The new Super Van has all the virtue of the Van, plus 23% more loadspace – making it the biggest van of its type you can buy. Super Van is a full sixteen inches longer than any other van, giving you room to spare for loads 8 1/2 feet long behind the engine compartment. Moreover, with the passenger seat removed, you can stow 14-foot-long items with the rear doors closed! Big New Engine For Big New Performance. Both Econolines – Van and Super Van – offer a big new engine. It’s an optional 240 cubic inch engine, biggest Six in any compact van today. It gives you plenty of hill-climbing ability with big loads – new nimbleness in traffic. And that’s only a sample of the great 1965 improvements you get in new Vans and Super-Vans. See America’s No. 1 Vans – see both Econolines at your Ford dealer’s today”.
