![]() Before this chevy crashes at the dock, it changes into this:- /vehicle_255838-International.html -- Last edit: 2009-11-05 09:32:48 |

Could this be [P-20] series based on visible badge at /vehicle_255832-Lincoln-Town-Car-Stretched-Limousine-1981.html ? ![]() |

No, this is a P-30. The NYC filmed truck was smaller and was a P-20. |

Yes, you can see the different badge style in stronghold's penultimate thumb. |

[P-30] should be in brackets. |

^ if so, we have a batch of Step-Van P-30 to change. If not, we have a batch of Step-Van [P-30] to change instead. |

Seems that P-30 is part of the model name, cf some of Elmer's comments: /yourcomments.php?search=p-30&id=elmer but probably not all vehicles were yet properly updated (not sure that P-30 in model name applies to all [P-30]) |

No, as it's indeed a part of the name. The accurate model/chassis code are more detailed: see the "spoiler" part in this post. From what I understood, [P-30] and similar [P-10]/[P-20] codes were used at first as chassis code in the IMCDb the same way [C-10]/[C-20]/[C-30] codes were. Now that the latter codes have been moved to the name part, it's maybe time to do it also with the P-Series models? ![]() And if we want more accuracy, we should give the 1964-82 big vans (i.e. the P-20 and the P-30) their complete name, which is Step-Van King: ![]() (Excerpts of the 1964, 1968 and 1980 brochures) ![]() (1982 brochure excerpt, with the model codes. The King part doesn't appear on later brochures) It would be easy for the 1964-67 models, but should we give this complete name to all 1968+ model or only to 1968-77 ones (when identifiable as such), as there's no detail to help differentiate a 1978-82 model from a 1983+ one? _____ For the record, the van of the main pic has indeed the wheel rims of the "heaviest" 1-ton P-30: |
