My mom was forever hauling kids to everything. The two chairs would swing around to face the rear and we could all play cards. The only thing that quit working was the odometer, my Dad figures there was over 300000 km on it when they traded it in on a Montana in 97. So many chilhood memories revolve around travelling in the van.

We had a similar van when I was growing up but it was the Ford Econoline version. It was awesome. My parents purchased it for road trips and camping vacations. The van was a pig though. I'll always remember one of our last trips in that van to BC when my dad stopped to fill up with fuel. He had to fill both tanks in the van and after he was done he told us that we weren't going to drive to BC anymore because gas was too expensive. It was 33 cents/litre at that time.
