Christmas came early at C.I.D.E.R. this year. We took possession or our two new vans on Dec. 24.
Six of the seven C.I.D.E.R. vehicles
They are twins that started out being built as Chrysler Grand Caravans. The stripped chassis were then shipped to another company that dropped the floor, added the wheelchair ramp and all the necessary tie-down and safety equipment. They were then shipped to CTAA in Burlington where we picked them up. They have already been put into service as quite a bit of the transportation we do is for one wheelchair bound individuals accompanied by one or two “walk-on” passengers.
Ken Johnston and Dave Pillsbury brought them home and in doing so had the first chance to drive them. Thanks Ken and Dave…
