<VV> first Econoline pickup

[J R Read_HML]

Doug,

Thank you for your response and it is similar (not far off) from many others 
that I received - BUT none of them could provide a DEFINTIVE answer.  Maybe 
there isn't one.

In a way, the question is ... Who hit the marker first - Chevy (Corvair 95 
PU ) or Ford (Econoline PU)?  If the question is stated in an unfair way, 
please let me know.   I'm pretty sure it was not Dodge - but willing to view 
contradictory info.

In the end, I would like to be able to go back to the Fairfield Mint folks 
and make them eat their words.  Of course... there is the possibility they 
were right?
