interior for greater
maneuverability. The Entervan

for many wheelchair users to
enter and exit the vehicle. Up
to 61" of interior clearance
provides extra headroom and
greater visibility. A convenient
fold-down footrest gives
backseat passengers a more
comfortable ride too.
Just like the standard Entervan,
the XT features a power
auto-kneel system, lowered
driver side sliding door sill,
easy-out front passenger and
drive seats under carriage spare
tire storage and more. Check it

Further Options
Scott Darnell loved driving big
trucks and fast cars before a
diving accident left him
paralyzed. “When I woke up, they
told me the only option for me
was a full-size van,” Darnell
said. “I was kind of bummed with
that so immediately I started
thinking about different ways
that I could get myself in and
out of different vehicles.”
Darnell’s solution was the DMS
series of wheelchair lifts
produced by his company, Further
Options in Greenville, Ill.,
that let anyone in a wheelchair
drive whatever vehicle they’d
like. “What we were running up
against is I didn’t want a
vehicle that looked like it was
for the disabled, I wanted a
vehicle that looked just like
anybody else’s, that I could
modify just like anybody
else’s,” Darnell said. “My first
truck [with the DMS] was a Dodge
Ram that we had on airbags and
everything else and it would
drop down almost to the ground.
Now I’m in a new full-size Chevy
Silverado.” Regardless of how
they were injured, disabled car
enthusiasts and every-day
drivers like Darnell are looking
for products to help them with
the mechanics of driving or
riding in a vehicle, and to
spiff those vehicles up.
Aftermarket retailers are
finding ways to meet all of
those needs...
Two months ago, we gave you a
preview
of the the Cadillac Escalade
custom we've been hard-at-work
on for Dwayne McKee of
Scottsdale, Arizona. We'll have
more of the stunning photos from
this photo shoot to share with
you soon, but in the meantime,
here's our quiz:
Can you see any visual
differences on the driver's side
of this vehicle which is
equipped with our DMS wheelchair
lift system?
