Actually it was called a Carryall wasn't it, dating from 1960?
That should be included in the title?

Just a little bit more about this van.  Sorry about the less than perfect translation but this is straight from a German website and is not translated by me!

QUOTE
The next model was the Carry All van, were not of much construction. It's really a shame because the car was wide with his big load floor and the side cargo door of his time. This enabled him to walk from the loaded and unloaded. To save space, there was a sliding door that open when slipped into the roof area. The lower part of the body, was below the rubber strip from the Dart. The roof was molded from a FC Station Wagon. The windshield also came from the FC. There were no persons door. The passenger seat could be folded and so they came into the hold. A wooden floor has been assembled from plywood. The higher the floor to the height of the center tunnel so that a continuous loading surface was formed. The very front mounted driving position required that all cable and the gear were extended in the center tunnel. Since the steering wheel sat as far forward combined a sprocket with chain steering column and steering.
The rear lights were mounted horizontally on a sedan. An innovative feature are the vents, which brought on the side of air for cooling the engine. The ventilation slots are still available today at hardware stores.
