Our January 2013 art contest winner cm324 has selected "Show Vans" as the topic for this month's art contest -- the van craze of the early 70's, with over-the-top paint and interiors, re-imagined if it came back today. All makes and years, and even delivery body styles.

This month, the winner gets a $50 gift certificate to Speedway Motors.

Voting will take place in the last week of February, so please have all entries posted by the 22nd.

Thanks to all participants and voters!

VW Micro bus

Back in the middle 1960's and early 1970's northern California"s roads were full of the Hippy Bus. There were ones with custom paint jobs to just rusty junk' but they were every where. Most Buses had a long haired dude , with a women wearing a peasant blouse, Which he called his old lady. and the couple had at least one dog. The VW was the van of choice for the hippy and became his icon transportation .

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.
