[FC] Econoline Replica

[J R Read_HML]

Page 38 of your newest "Replica Collection" catalog illustrates a 1965 Ford 
Econoline Pickup.

Two descriptive items seem to be in SERIOUS question.

First - it is described as being the "First Compact Pickup."  I'd go along 
with that if you were talking about US produced only - ala VW.  You did Not 
say US only in the description.

Second - this line comes from your "fine print"..... "copied by Dodge, 
Chevrolet, and GMC".

My question is.... Have you given ANY consideration to the "95" series of 
Chevrolet - CORVAIR - trucks which were first PRODUCED in 1961 - and ending 
with the 1965 model year?  They included vans - both window and windowless 
styles and PICKUPS - both with and without ramps.  They were certainly 
developed PRIOR to 1961.  This would (obviously) negate the statements about 
"first" and about "copied".

An example - a 1961 version (mine) is attached.

Questions?  Reply VIA email, please.

A response would be GREATLY appreciated.
