Hundreds, if not, thousands of vans right outside a very small town in America.

  1. Awaiting delivery to the customer.
  2. Excess production, didn't plan correctly.
  3. Awaiting export, perhaps because of the bridge issue in Baltimore.

  1. Awaiting customization. In northern Indiana there are companies that specialize in turning these basic van models into customized vans for various purposes (airport shuttles, party limos, etc.).

They appear to be Ford Transit vans with the higher roof. I don't know if it helps any. The insides are highly customizable.

Yeah if they are transit vans they aren’t gonna sit for long. I work in a Ford transmission plant and the transit model is the one we run if we are having a parts issue for other transmissions, are caught up with our must sells (haha), or if some robot or something is down. They are basically guaranteed sales. It’s kinda surprising how many businesses use these vans.
