When my parents got married my Dad had a van like that
It was white & had a cowboy scene painted on it
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of it, I need to ask if they have any

I actually saw a van very similar the other day on the north shore and wish I would have gotten a pic. It didn’t have the red stripe but was definitely built as a off-road type van

My Grandparents used to have a badass van back in the 90s, had a bed in the back, TV and a VCR built in. I was living the life on the way to Disney World back in those days. I dont get why they dont still make vans like that.

Astro for me, that thing was a tank. I don’t think I’ve drove a vehicle since that had those big captain chairs.

Everyone knows why vans were popular in the 70's.

Interesting. I guess you don't see them these days because SUVs have become so popular.

i think some real interesting shite could be done with the new electronics and lighting as well as sound.

the government wouldnt allow it to be built today though, because of crash test BS safety stuff
