Very nice piece. I think the early vans may make a comeback, only in a more subdued fashion, not the over-the-top style of the 70's. I have seen several nice examples of late including an Econoline like yours.

Digging through some old work I came across this one that I did for my then girlfriend -now wife - back when my hair wasn't as grey. Hmmm. Maybe I'll redo it for her. That should gain me a little doghouse insurance.

Thanks so much CM,, I really appreciate it! I like the thought that the 70s would make a come,,back that would be awesome!! If only the GAS prices were in the 70s ..

The VW was the van of choice for the hippy and became his icon transportation .

Love it! Nice work!

Thanks Dinger.. Being from California you remember that movement. The late 60"s and early 70"s were special... Or my-be we were just younger and that was our time. All I know is the world was bigger and the Cops were slower and a fourth mile of pavement was wide open....Sign Miss those times Lincoln Highway Johnny.

Here is some of my van renderings. All are done 100% freehand, with pencil, ink and markers. Enjoy.
