How could you mess with the Essential Coolness of that layout?!

Ya'll are letting reality in way too much! Keep it as is.

I'd buy a few of those).  But not at that price.   

First generation Econolines have not AFAIK been kitted in the one true car scale.  Funky looking things.  I'd love a van.  IIRC the Mystery Machine was based on one.

Lindberg did a Dodge A100 (equally funky) but only as a pickup.  If you want a van you have to find a Jimmy Flintstone resin body.

Maybe Round 2 will repop the Lindberg A100 as an AMT kit like they've been doing with other stuff?  And maybe some will find their way here (less likely) at a reasonable price (unlikely).

Then there's the IMC Little Red Wagon too, but isn't that the same mould as the Linberg kit?

Think so.  IMC also produced it as the Touch Tone Terror.  2in1 wheelstander or phone company mtce truck.

The vintage saliva stains boost the asking price.

Perhaps that particular truck/lorry never got stuck under that particular bridge, in real life 

[McColm]

I used to live in West Twyford, Ealing and there's a bridge that many a foreign lorry driver has been caught getting stuck under. It's the bridge connecting Alpterton Station to Park Royal Tube station. Those were the days before air-ride suspension. The Highways Agency lowered the road but forgot to put a drain in for the access water. That part of the road flooded when it was raining.

We have three bridges in town, where trucks getting stuck has been a somewhat regular occurrence. One is actually a tunnel under the railway station, with a slope up starting at the eastern edge. Then there's the ones going under the railways north and east. Railway bridges going south are high enough

There are a few railway bridges like that around where I live. On one side you might be able to enter, but you then get stuck half way through  Most have been sorted out, but there are still a few that catch out the unwary, or those who don't read the very clearly displayed warning signs

Although Fw.190s had been introduced into service with the Luftwaffe in August 1941, so maybe it's a whif?
