yeh giday, could anyone please tell me how to find out, how many 1959 fc panelvans with glass(similar to the stationwagon) were produced. thanks, panelman.
Zero at the factory.
I believe glass was fitted as a dealer option or a conversion.
panelman, Fast Eddie is correct, these panelvan conversions were done by a firm called Canopy industries, among others.
I sometimes think more of these glassed in p'vans remain than blind p'vans.
It was a cheap way to turn your p'van into a wagon look-a-like, with some being fitted with a special fold down rear seat that leaves the load area flat & a few even having a rear door fitted as well.
I have a glassed in FE p'van that has even had Station Sedan rear quarter badges fitted & an FC p'van (glassed) with a full rear standard station sedan seat fitted, with access via a fold forward front bench seat!
Regards, Gary
Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. yours, etc, panelman.
