These Vintage Custom Van Design Sketches Are Van-Ripened Gold

http://jalopnik.com/these-vintage-cu...ene-1573746837

The website Dirty Hero (http://dirtyhero.com/2014/05/08/vint...ps-tom-daniel/) has dug up a fantastic old treasure trove of hand-drawn custom van styling tips that originally appeared in a 1976 edition of Hot Rod Magazine Vans. They have the full text too, and it's a reminder that vans need to make a comeback.
Wouldn't mind to own a "custom" van!

Thanks for sharing this.

Reminds me of when I was in Seattle once as a kid (circa 1977) and we found in a shopping parking lot a bunch of customized vans on display. I got into a conversation with one guy about how cool his van was and that I loved the Cordoba taillights on his Chevy van.

Both the guy and my dad were impressed.
