   Paul,Ma Bell was probably the most common purchaser of these vans but
several other companies used them also. When you figure how many vans the
fleet
companies would order at one time then you aint just whistling Dixie when you
say they would accommodate them with whatever they wished for. Money talks.
       So while I ve got the mike,did the military order Corvair vans and
pickups for their fleets? I know they used Ford,Dodge and GM.
