Seriously though, no vans for me.

Other than a 70's model with **** carpet ftw.
I bet those vans get good fuel economy. Lol.

Does it show my age if I know what hippies are? Lol

The top van looks like it could be a hit although the rear looks too short to me. The other one looks like a Scion Xb with a VW badge on it. It will probably sell well too.

I had forgotten about the Corvair Greenbriar van. They were cool. They also had a pickup built from the same body. The Corvair name plate was on every body style made.

I didn't care for the old Chevy van of the 60's because it didn't have much style as can be seen compares to the Ford that is parked next to it. The Dodge was more stylish too.

The A-Team van is awesome. I'm waiting for Mr.T to come around the side chasing Murdock.

I also liked the VW vans with the windows in the roof. Those were the ultimate hippie vans.

That VW has character. I could own one of those. It isn't as comfortable as either of my Town & Country's

I used to work for a chevy dealer and they had a couple of 01 c1500 southern comfort high top conversion vans with the 350, tvs galore, all leather, mood lighting, you sit in this van and feel your like you are in a movie theater.

Back in the '80's I had a Chevy shorty, custom paint-job, carpet, captains chair, lots of sound. It was a six cylinder with a 3 on-the-tree, was going to convert to floorshift but never got around to it, even after about a year of ordering parts to do it from Chevy. We had a lot of fun with it, always road-tripping to concerts and such. One night, and no it's not cool, we took the 1/4 barrel we were partying with and 8 of us took it in the van on a road cruise. We lived in a rural area, and never even saw any cars, lucky no cops THAT night... It was cool, no windows on rear doors, had a big rounded rectangle window on each rear side, black tinted. Loved that van, then the six died, and had some rust, so sold it to a friend. I'll dig up some pics of it for ya!!

Mike
