The Lost Arts...

Where have all the custom vans gone? There seemed to be no shortage in the 70's and 80's....probably gone to scrap heaps, every one. I suppose man hasn't lost his desire to customize, what with the plethora of, dare I say, "pimped out" rides cruising the streets this day and age. But it just isn't the same. Vinyl wraps, LCD screens and LED light just don't hold a candle to porthole windows, deep shag carpet and wood veneer. And who could forget the paint job? Those amazingly airbrushed fantasy scenes of wizards, cosmic beings, other-worldly creatures, space babes, hobbits, barbarians and wide-stretching galaxies. It's a lost art my friends.

  1. I am totally ga ga for these! What a great set of pics. The airbrushing is phenomenal, and the interiors (including the ckicks) are Baaaaaad Assss! Could you imaging being a father, about to see your teenage daughter off on a date and her beau shows up in one of these fine Shaggin Wagons!
