Vehicles for handicapped peoples

Does anyone remember in the 1980's when handicapped people were given horrible light and bright blue cars to drive around? They did not have much choice in the matter as these were one of the only wheelchair accessible vehicles readily available. I am not sure if this was something only in the UK but my point is that things have moved on dramatically.

Now you can an almost full range of vehicles tailored for wheelchair use meaning that handicap people no longer have to drive around in stupid vehicles around, feeling awkward or embarrassed. I think this is an important step.

Mobility Works have dealerships throughout the US. They deal in new handicap vans, used handicap vans, and used handicap conversion minivans and more. Modeled on the traditional dealership format they offer a professional and comfortable surrounding in which to purchase a wheelchair friendly vehicle.

Their website is simple but offers an advanced search so you can see the range of vehicles and contact them before traveling all the way to the dealership. Good quality images are available of all the vehicle types and you can also sign up for an industry news newsletter.

It's good to see companies offering such a service in a normal environment without the need to highlight disability as a bad thing.
