Review written on 8/1964.
Some say we're never kind enough to Gordon-Brull. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Entrance. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Van like the Alpine. So where does the Alpine stand in the Van segment? After spending a few days with the Alpine. We have made our judgment.

The day started right when I was picked to drive the Gordon-Brull Alpine on the track. The Alpine is a is pretty fast for a Van. Its 280 hp @ 5247RPMs 5441 cc V6 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 97 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 11.908s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Gordon-Brull Alpine is a fantastic track Van. The handling characteristics of the Gordon-Brull Alpine is borderline acceptable for a Van. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.

Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Gordon-Brull Alpine's cabin isn't going to amaze. But compared to most other vehicles of this type, it's not going to let you down. It has most of the standard features, and comfort, while lacking in some areas, is decent.

The Gordon-Brull Alpine gives you a sense of home away from home. With 115 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Alpine feels like a second living room. Which was what Gordon-Brull was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Gordon-Brull thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Serious effort goes into every Gordon-Brull Alpine produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Gordon-Brull in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Gordon-Brull Alpine. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

The Gordon-Brull Alpine gets 10.6 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

With some focus on safety, Gordon-Brull Alpine has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Gordon-Brull does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When it comes to Van there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Gordon-Brull Alpine the best Van I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
