as far as I know they didn't make one. As you know they did make 2nd gen for lindy's I also have a promotional 2nd gen bank put out by auto dealers. Other than that I don't think there anything out there. Don't give up maybe there something we don't know about???

Yep, always looking for one at the Flea mkt's and yard sales. Maybe someday I'll find one. Talked to a few Diecast dealers at the flea mkt who said they never made any of the first gen's but have found several econo's since then. So who know's, just thought I would ask. Will keep looking...

There have been many die casts made of just about every Van made, with the exception of the Early Chevy/GMC VAN?!
The company, that made the "Highway 61 Vans" actually made it from spec's taken from Taz's son's Van.
They actually had taken 100's of pics of Taz's Early Chevy Van and were to design it into a diecast first!
Who knows, one may come out on the market eventually??
Hell, there are even the Dodge A100's out there!
I sure wish that they would get off of their A$$'s and make them, as I for one would collect them!!
