Amid the latest high-powered models, innovative eco-friendly whips, and something called the 鈥淗oonicorn,鈥� it was a 1980 Ford Econoline van that stole the show at this year鈥檚 .
The Auto Show, which wrapped its 99th installation on Sunday, March 24, proudly displayed the 鈥淰an of Hope.鈥� The 1980 Ford Econoline van is the vehicle that supported Canadian icon Terry Fox during his 鈥淢arathon of Hope鈥� trek across the country.
For Darrell Fox, who accompanied Terry during the Marathon of Hope 39 years ago, the response has been overwhelming: 鈥淲henever the van is displayed at a public event like this week at the 麻豆传媒映画International Auto Show, I continue to be astounded and appreciative that people of all generations continue to have such a strong personal and emotional attachment to Terry and the Marathon of Hope,鈥� said Fox.
