Talk:Panel van
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm pretty sure panel van does not mean this in American English. In American English "panel van" applies (I think) to the most common type of van -- a Dodge Ram for example. Tcassedy 15:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I guess the closest cousin of the Australian Panel Van in American English is the Sedan Delivery. The last example from GM and Ford was the Chevy Vega in 1975 and the Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon in 1979-80. I founded a website devoted to them http://www.sedandeliveryonline.com there even pictures of station-wagons customized into sedan delivery. The pick-up truck version of sedan delivery was known as Panel Truck and replaced since by the Ford Econoline, Dodge Ram Van, Chevy Van. -SD, June 25 2005
[edit] also known simply as "PVs"
I (and others I have checked with disagree that panelvans were "also known simply as 'PVs'" - any source for this assertion? Was it a regional variation?--A Y Arktos 20:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
