Ford E-Series

The Ford E-Series (also marketed as the Ford Econoline and Ford Club Wagon) is a range of full-size vans produced by the Ford Motor Company since 1961. Introduced as a replacement for the Ford F-Series panel van, the line has spanned four generations. Sold in both retail and commercial markets, the E-Series has been offered as passenger and cargo vans, as well as in cutaway and stripped-chassis configurations. With over 8.2 million units sold since 1961, the Ford E-Series is the third-best selling van line in history (outranked only by the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter). Ford retired the E-Series passenger and cargo vans after the 2014 model year, replacing them with the Ford Transit. The E-Series continues to be offered only in cutaway and stripped-chassis configurations. The E-Series was assembled at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio, which produced the E-Series since 1975. Before its closure in 2005, Lorain Assembly in Lorain, Ohio, built the model line from its launch in 1961. In 2021, it became the second active Ford model line after the F-Series to reach 60 years of continuous production.
