Looks like main metric speedo, kilometer odometer reading and small miles per hour speedo dial could indicates european version... |

Well of course, clearly the movie is filmed in Europe It's anywhere between the 1992-1996 generation. In the US, only 1992-1994 models had amber on the tailights, but I suppose that European models mandate amber. |

Not surprised to see the fuel gauge dead on "E" ... These older Econolines were thirsty beasts, no matter which engine they had. Newer ones are better on fuel consumption, but not by much. |

Then, should we list this made for Europe? |

Has Ford itself ever sold the Econoline in any European country? If not, it would be misleading to talk about made for Europe versions. |

Well that I'm not sure about. I was just saying that I would imagine any Econolines/E-Series trucks in Europe (no matter how they ended up there) would surely have amber tailights to comply with local laws, right? |

Yes, but I wouldn't count third party modifications done to individual vehicles as "made for Europe". -- Last edit: 2009-03-27 20:13:03 |

Now you mention that, i also don't think it's too certain when we label some cars as "made for" just because they have tiny details changed, like the interior bulbs inside of a headlight, or just because in some countries having headlights washers was standard yet you could mount them too in other european countries. |

Well I'm not too familiar with this, so I'm not quite sure. But if an American company such as Ford were to sell, say, a Crown Victoria and it was made available for export to Europe under a type of special order (Ford itselt would change bulbs and such, not a third-party company), then how would that classification work out? I'm asking not just for the site, but I'm just curious about this myself. |

The reason why I asked if this could be made for Europe due it has metric instrument panel. The instrument panel layout from the last three thumbnail that atom posted is familiar with one I drive on 2003 Ford E-350 Super Duty cargo van. It could be made from Canada for the Europe market, though not sure |

Perhaps Animatronixx can tell us, if it even could be made in Europe. Maybe the body and the whole ambulance-interior is not US-made. @rljuna2: it's not neccessarily Canadian made, when you see an US-car with metric instruments. I guess, US-workers can mount them, too for export cars. btw., it's illegal in Europe, at least in Germany to drive a car with a tachometer in miles. You have to change the tachometer or -as minimum- you have to put small stickers on the glass, when it's 50 km/h, 80 km/h and 100 km/h. |
