Here it is at Riverside with the mobile school trailer. We can see the school's Econoline van in the background.
Anyone have a photo of the license plate of the school trailer?

The Econoline van had John Timanus's name on the door. Shown here along the side of the Carter Ave building.
Anyone have the a photo of the license plate on the Van too?

Most of you have seen this window van "Race Assistance Program" Econoline. This van appeared about the same time the school moved out of Riverside over to Willow Springs in 1966. The 10-spokes make this a sharp van with matching trailer.

Amazing photos!!  Gives us that glimpse of the past and how things were done and how modern for the times, or I should say how "way ahead of their time" :)

Keep them coming, GREAT READING!!

Next on the list are the Shelby American factory support vehicles. I'll start with the vans.

The rarely photographed (Econoline) Falcon Club Wagon is first spotted in the background at Riverside, October 1963.
It has two-tone factory paint option.

The same (maybe) window van appears at the June 1965 Open House at LAX..possibly repainted in all Guardsman Blue.
This and the previous post are the only photos I've ever seen of the window vans through the end of 1965.

I suspect this window van was again repainted to become the "Shelby American Race Asssistance Program" that shows up in 1966.
(photos in reply #35)

Here's the list info on these two SA factory support vans;

1964 Econoline Falcon Club Wagon window van - two tone paint "COBRA Powered by Ford" lettering, steel rims center hubcaps white walls

1965 Econoline Falcon Club Wagon window van - solid paint "COBRA Powered by Ford" lettering, steel rims center hubcaps white walls
   CA plate? (65-6-7 LAX open house)
