The first E83W went on sale in 1938, and soldiered on in the Ford brochures until 1957. 2008 marks the model's 70th birthday. If you have a photo of an E83W, please please post it here. I'll dig out some of my own shortly Smile

cheers, Rick

Not an E83W, but close enough to get away with posting... Laughing

The photo of the special-bodied E83W in Amsterdam in the 1950's is really interesting. The curved-back body with sliding doors is very different to most E83W's. The van displays "PTT Technisdienst" on the side of the body. This tranlates to Post, Telephone & Telegraph (the Dutch national telephone company), Technical Service. It's a telephone repair van. Note the SKF (bearings) sign on the storefront behind. What a wonderful photo! -Les Foster, Canada
