Every automaker has its own look. Whether it’s a seven-slot grille, round tail lamps or a Hofmeister kink each company tries to claim its own signature styling elements.

Among the many classic masterpieces set for the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, there will be a retro throwback of a different breed: the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine.

The new full-size Ford van will be built upon an especially versatile platform that is designed to manage either a front-, rear-, or all-wheel-drive layout. Ford says that the 3.5-liter V6 will be available in rear-wheel-drive, while a naturally aspirated engine will be used for the all-wheel-drive variant. It is likely that Ford will forgo the front-wheel-drive option in the North American Market.

Ford has refuted rumors that the E-Series Econoline vans would be discontinued when the Transit hit the market by confirming that they’ll continue producing the E-Series through the better part of the next decade.
