There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/), Galpin Auto Sports (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/galpin+auto+sports/) has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/transit/) as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-ford-transit-skyliner-concept/#photo-2530026/), sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
