LAS VEGAS — The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is bound for the 2009 SEMA Show, but it could easily do double-duty at a home improvement event. Customizers have made Ford's new commercial van into the equivalent of a ritzy residence with such amenities as a complete kitchen, a "Porta-Potty" and an outdoor shower.
Azentek and Grant Products of Grand Blanc, Michigan, hooked up to build the "Travel Inn" Ford Transit Connect van. The one-of-a-kind Transit Connect features an upper bunk bed, a canopy and several LCD screens for viewing movies inside and out. Other details include a Grant Products body kit, a race-inspired steering wheel and a set of 18-inch BBS wheels.
The Dearborn automaker also will show off a 2010 Ford Transit Connect by Ford Vehicle Personalization. Ford said this version was "inspired by West Coast beaches." It is dolled up in a Metallic Gold exterior paint with a graphic showing young people playing sports on the beach. The cabin gets an "audio wall with a custom audio-video system, a skateboard rack displaying four skateboards and a rear-mounted LCD flip-out flat-screen monitor with video game console."
Inside Line says: Proof positive that the Transit Connect can do more than haul boxes. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
