60s Vans making come back?

I have LOVED this van since the first time I saw it. Love that paint.

I had someone give me a whole set of books on upholstery from one of those mail-correspondence training schools from the 70's. It shows all kinds of accessories for vans and how-to's for them.

 

How about some pics and info on this one? Way Cool!

 

Really. No fun at all. They suck.

 

one of my favorite looks on early vans was using modelA bumpers front and rear,gives it a cool look and easy todo,now I gotta find a damn pic pf one.........I made a set of nerfettes using bugeye sprite bumper gards on my A100

 

in the early 80s this was parked on Siskin Drive just outside Coventry, was there for a good while, I took a good look while I was there looking at buying a Lotus Europa, it was complete with the GT40 motor and transaxle and had been bought just for the drive train but like I said had been there for a long time....apparently no longer exists

 

Thames Van made by Ford in England during the 60s

 

I nearly bought that off evilbay UK not long ago

 

Check out this sleeve/poster from FU MANCHU. I used to play in a band that played with these guys when they were in the Boston area. I love their sound and most of their records.

DO IT IN A VAN!

 

Very inspirational...now I need to make room for a van, too !

Lots a reasons for buying a FORD in '61 !

>>>>"Manifold and a holley....just for kicks"......

 

$8900 for that cobbled-together POS? I don't think so Tim....

 

Love the "FU"!

I did this 7" cover for them last year.

 

OOps, accidentally uploaded the one with "bong" crossed out.

 

Looks like someone slapped that roach together to make a quick buck off some wide eyed sucker. POS indeed!

 

magazine sales man I do believe

 

I SNAGGED THIS PIC FROM ONE OF THE VANNIN SIGHTS OF TODAY. MY DAD AND I DID SOME KUSTOM WORK ON HIS 78 CHEVY (OUR FIRST FAMILY PROJECT). THIS ONE IS A LOT MORE ADVANCE BUT STILL SIMULAR. NOT 60'S BUT COOL NONE THE LESS.

 

heres one i caught on the freeway in san diego a few weeks ago

 

Cool!! I dig the band too.

 

Seen a VW van the other day heading home. Really funny.

 

personally, i have always loved Arlen Ness' chopped and sectioned chevy van. it's a little new, but does anyone have any pics of it?

 

Page 6 and 7 of this thread. I thought there was more on here someplace but i'm not sure where now.

 

After comming over to this cool site from another and reading most of these posts on this topic I wanted to let you know that there is a site that tons of vanners (past and present) use. It's called vannin.com. hundreds of pics, event info, classifeds, links to other van sites and helpful info about vans. Vanning never went away, just kinda went underground! Great to read all of your van experiences. I love all things custom and H.A.M.B. is a great forum. Here's a link I hope works for you: http://www.vannin.com/threads/

This is a cool thread. I'd love to see some of these US vans on the streets in Australia. I'd roll one as a company daily in a heartbeat.

We don't exactly have the best stock to choose from over here. Befords & Transits.....?

 

I seen a few Befords done up really nice . you might want to take a better look at one .

 

Sounds good. I'd love to see some photos.
