1966 Ford Club Wagon

The 1966 Ford Club Wagon, part of the first generation of the Ford Econoline series introduced in 1961, is recognized for its practical design and passenger capacity. Key specifications include a cabover body style, where the front seats are above the front axle, allowing for increased interior space. The standard engine is the 170 cubic-inch inline-six, with an optional 240 cubic-inch inline-six for enhanced performance. Transmission choices feature a three-speed manual as standard, while a three-speed automatic is available for larger engines. The vehicle typically has a wheelbase of around 90 inches, with overall length varying by configuration, such as the extended Super Van. The Club Wagon comes in various trim levels, including the Chateau, which offers amenities like air conditioning and an AM/FM sound system. While the 1966 model did not have major updates from previous years, it maintained its mid-engine design, providing improved cargo accessibility and versatility.
