Theme Tuesdays: Vans Can play too
The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that fit the vehicles overall theme). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: vans.
When people think of modified vans its hard not to think of those monsters from the 70s these days certain vans in the right hands can look down right amazing. Here is a collection of a few of the better ones I have seen recently.
VW
The Volkswager crowd are pretty much the innovators of the extremely lowered vans (well bus to them but lets not split hairs).
Since these vans like to return to the earth so easily they are normally not in your typical show condition but that adds character
This VW Bus/van is flying both the stance and hippy flag
This is just enough VW bus for me to put it here.
Imports
Import vans (the tasteful ones not these things) are sometimes done up in ‘tuner’ style but more usually VIP style, really the VIP style suits them best.
The Honda Odyssey is a very common platform.
I prefer the black ones myself.
Front and back of another black Odyssey notice the camber
Mazda5s are also another popular platform being a large 3 after all, this one is local to Toronto and looks a bit different these days
Toyotas Previa's are also pretty popular platforms, the fact that they are mid engine rear wheel drive is also pretty interesting
Domestic’s
I’m sure all of us have seen a modified Safari or two. The 70s American van craze might have blown over but that doesn’t mean people stopped modifying American vans.
Typical minitruck rules have been applied here
Yep, it's American
The first time I saw this photo I thought it was a photo shop job I figured no way someone would have done this.
I was wrong, but really who would expect APC of all companies to be involved in the build a a supercharged rear wheel drive dodge Caravan that looks so badass?
The Famous ones
I couldn’t justifiably have a post about modified vans and leave out some of the most famous custom vans around.
Sure it needed bleach for help with burnouts but it looked damn cool
Scooby and Shaggy were always pretty high
Naturally someone had to build the real thing
