I'm pretty sure panel van does not mean this in American English. In American English "panel van" applies (I think) to the most common type of van -- a Dodge Ram for example. Tcassedy 15:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I guess the closest cousin of the Australian Panel Van in American English is the Sedan Delivery. The last example from GM and Ford was the Chevy Vega in 1975 and the Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon in 1979-80. I founded a website devoted to them http://www.sedandeliveryonline.com there even pictures of station-wagons customized into sedan delivery. The pick-up truck version of sedan delivery was known as Panel Truck and replaced since by the Ford Econoline, Dodge Ram Van, Chevy Van. -SD, June 25 2005
In my experience, the US term is "Panel Truck" which already has a bit of an article going on it. If it's an Aus term (and these vehicles do not look as if they've ever been seen outside the sub-continent), then it seems OK for the article to have an Aus flavor.Dickpenn 22:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] also known simply as "PVs"
I (and others I have checked with disagree that panelvans were "also known simply as 'PVs'" - any source for this assertion? Was it a regional variation?--A Y Arktos 20:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
The picture of a Nissan Urvan seems out of place in the context of the article Xt828 11:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
