Many years of seeing Cooper brand raised white letter tires on vehicles like this made very skeptical of them. Now we have Coopers on our van and on the Golf and I am very happy with them. Note, our van doesn’t look like this one.
I remember back in the 1970’s when turning vans into rolling murals was incredibly popular; the quality of artwork varied from terrible to excellent. This is one the better examples, it looks like a survivor from the ’70s that is still in good condition.
It seems to have the A-team van’s rear spoiler and the colors are the same as well if perhaps not in the correct places.
I kind of want to (but also kind of don’t really want to) see the inside.
I like to think that they went with a Hello Kitty/My Little Pony theme for the interior just for contrast.
F.W Murnau…B.A. Baracus. Sure. Why not? 🙂
And a unicorn spare tire cover. Those blacked out rear windows and goofy opera-slit windows are bad enough but the art subject bumps the creep factor way up.

It was summer and I went to Emmitt’s Inn in Jamesberg, NJ. When I emerged from a van similar to this, fog horns sounded at Sandy Hook.
My brother bought a stripo panel van like this that had been in NY for 4 years. It rusted all around the base, so it was surprising the whole body didn’t fly off on the highway. Eventually, someone stole it but brought it back when it got stuck in first, which it did if you didn’t downshift through second.
