Petersen’s Vanning Trends
1977
Submitter: Look what I found while out weeding in our little County library today: . Check out “Marc” on page 77. His mom made the pillows and bedspread. And just look at that wet bar on page 69.
Holly: Groovy! We can’t see page numbers in the images submitted, but Marc is the fly guy in the sunglasses in the last image and the wet bar is spectacular in the image just above that one.
I am *seriously* impressed with the interior of LeBlanc’s van!
That thing is Peak ’70s. It’s glorious.
“Mini-Vans may soon become the biggest trend in vanning.” And, apparently, they will look like something out of “Damnation Alley.”
That thing is cooler than it has any right to be.
It looks like something out of a Gerry Anderson show.
It looks like something out of Space Odessy or Radar Men from the Moon.
All the serial killers in my neighborhood drive conversion vans…
Hehehe, I laughed out loud at the pic of that “mini van”! It looks like someone crossed a van with an AMC Pacer.
Scary and creepy! In around 1995 we wanted to buy a station wagon, and the first dealer we went to (Chevrolet) tried to steer us to some van conversion things. I was rather insulted. So we got a Volvo :-).
Van conversions in their heyday were called sin bins for a very good reason!
Back in the 1970’s and early 80’s, my dad had the most glorious Dodge van! We had a bed in the back so that when the family took long vacations, sis and I could sleep in the back. I miss that monstrosity!
