Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Vans get a bad rap. Nowadays, the huge haulers bring minivans to mind. And though minivans are many things, cool isn't one of them. Stressed-out suburbanites aren't the only blemish on the van's side panel, either. Think "Silence of the Lambs." Creepy, windowless, faded, dented vans still prowl the roads of cities across America. What if we could return to an age when vans were the sweetest machines on the street? Thanks to this awesome compendium of van advertisements, we can! Turn back the clock and browse this collection of over 200 print ads for vans, van accessories, and van customization. Luxuriate in swivel chairs, customized wing doors, and most importantly, ultra-fresh paint jobs. The '70s were salad days for van lovers, but you'll also find the simpler models of the '60s parked around back. Either way, you'll be transported back to a more innocent time when vans were the ultimate in street-wise self-expression.
