Based on the compact Ford Falcon the first Ford Econoline was introduced for the 1961 model year. Sized roughly to compete with the Chevy Corvair (Greenbriar Sports Wagon) and Volkswagen Type 2 which was 172.3in long. It was originally offered as a cargo van an eight-passenger van with three rows of seats (which carried the Ford Falcon name) and as a pick up truck. A 165lb (75kg) counterweight was fitted over the rear wheels to balance the front-heavy vehicle; this was sometimes removed by later owners. The implementation of situating the driver on top of the front axle with the engine near the front wheels is called in the US a "cab over" short for cab over engine configuration. In Europe it is called a "forward control" vehicle. The body styling borrowed heavily from the smaller UK produced Thames 400E which had been in production since 1957 and the 1956-64 Jeep Forward Control.
Instead of the rear-mounted engine used by Volkswagen and Chevrolet the first E-Series had a flat nose with the engine between and behind the front seats. Early models have a 144 CID inline 6 cylinder engine with a three-speed manual transmission.
