Hi Rick:
Here in Canda, we had all of those vehicles mentioned - with quite few A 40
panels and a lot of pickups. However, we also had Standard Vanguard vans
and pickups as well as quite a few Bedford vans. There were no larger
vehicles however. There are presently 3 Vanguard pickups advertised for
sale in Calgary and I know of a couple of A40 panels and pickups here in
Edmonton.
