Hmmm... a bandit holding up a stagecoach, is that some kind of allusion to the cost of owning a Vanagon?

That's not a tire cover, it's "product" transportation unit.
Anyone remember the "Tijuana tuck and roll" interior job?

Yeah, there's stuff I THINK I like? And stuff I DON'T like...
I almost think it's slightly extended?
With a little more thought/design,, the grill/headlight deal seems like it could be a clean way to integrate more readily available square headlights?
But, OMG,,, there is SO MUCH to not like..... |

A nice example of what the Vanagon would look like if designed by Detroit.

I LOVE IT! I would own that and drive it everywhere.
Also, the van is being auctioned online just like vehicles on BAT. 150+ photos is par for the course on many BAT auctions.

^^^ This is Entry 101 in the Book of Dodges, pretending to be all reviled and stuff just so others won’t realize that it’s actually your van.
Own it, it’s you, and everyone on the web knows it.
Your secret is safe with me, though.

Maybe to showcase that the Vanagon wheelbase is only 2 inches longer?
