Meanwhile, the past:

Edit: the more I think about it, bringing back the Econoline brand specifically as an electric "cabover" pickup and/or van would be extremely cool.

(It wouldn't really be a cabover because the thing the cab is over is the engine and an EV doesn't have that, but you know what I mean.)

    Gimme one of those except the cab is over a spacious frunk instead of an engine. Maybe make the frunk a big drawer that can slide out. That'd kick ass and look good doing it.

    There's no room for a frunk; that's where your legs go. The engine in those things is under the seats and possibly behind the front axle.

    [On a related note, that's why I kinda want a Toyota Previa. With a little modification (only because not all options were offered at the same time/trim level, so you have to swap), you could truthfully tell people you have a mid-engine, supercharged, AWD, manual-transmission vehicle... and then roll up in a minivan!]
