I DETAILED ONE MANY YRS AGO IT WAS A 15 PASSENGER DODGE VAN, 318, BEIGE AND GOLD, HUGE, SO LONG, I PARKED IT UP THE STREET AFTER I FINISHED WITH A FOR SALE SIGN ON IT, SOLD IT IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I ALSO USED TO DETAIL A CUSTOMERS FORD VAN, ALL THE WOOD INSIDE WAS DONE BY THE AMISH, IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL. WHAT CRAFTSMANSHIP! IT HAD A TV ALSO AS I REMEMBER. VERY PRETTY 2 TONE METALLIC BLUE, IT TOOK ABOUT 6-7 HRS TO COMPLETE THE DETAIL, THEY HAD ME DO IT ABOUT EVERY 3-4 MONTHS.
When my kids were young we traveled in a green chevy van. They called it the ninja turtle van. Later we got a 92 GMC 3/4 ton extended passenger van. I put nice polished aluminum wheels on it. Metallic blue. I should’ve kept it.
Great show, I had a Chevy van that I took to Germany, my wife would drive it and the Germans would move aside in a parking lot, did have a lot of them wanting to buy it 😎🇺🇸
Mike you have one of the nicest vans at this event and certainly the nicest and most tasteful Dodge years and models I like the Dodges because they are so much less common than the Chevs and Fords.
Thank you for all your efforts in keeping us "out of towners" in the Cali car scene!!! I'm in Lake Havasu....next year you need to come out to Buses By The Bridge, it is this weekend!!! In my high school days in Arcadia, the bad ass vans were Squeeze Box(Chevy) and Vanishing Point(Ford).
I DETAILED CARS FO 50 YEARS,, FROM AGE 14 TO 64, I DID A FEW 80S DODGE VANS, I REMEMBER they had very little room for your legs, as big as they were you were crunched in the drivers seat that engine cover was huge, leaving little room for me.
@@MikeFrankovich if you're from that era, as I am, (though from NE Oklahoma) you'll remember hanging out on the local cruise, where at least one of your friends drove a 'Party Wagon'.
You have a really nice van. My favorite is the teal and black because teal stands for ovarian cancer support 😊 which I went through. This may will be 8 years in remission
Not a big Van fan. But do remember my parents having a early 70's red Ford van with tinted oval windows, and red shag carpet. We hauled our boat to the lake to go water skiing. That thing stunk to high heaven. The carpet held everything's smell in it. But I didn't care. We would stop and get ice cream on the way. That's all I cared about. Lol.

Some of the conversions were very elaborate back then.
LOVE THE GREEN COLOR AT 14:46.
Too hard to pick just one... what a gorgeous drive!
Gotta love that scenery!
This was awesome,,Vans on the run...
Nothing like 130 vans traveling together
Always takes me back to my Van club days, going to Van runs,
Thanks Mike, love the vans!
You're welcome

It’s always great to keep a van around.
Great show, I had a Chevy van that I took to Germany, my wife would drive it and the Germans would move aside in a parking lot, did have a lot of them wanting to buy it 😎🇺🇸
Probably not many American vans over there.
One of my favorite vans was yours Mike. Like the Dodge and your paint is cool.
Thanks. It still has the graphics from when it was converted back in 1983
Mike you have one of the nicest vans at this event and certainly the nicest and most tasteful Dodge years and models I like the Dodges because they are so much less common than the Chevs and Fords.
It's a bit worn. Still has the original paint from 1983 and airbrushing from when it was converted as a new van.

Great video. Lot of beautiful vans. Digging the mid Fords and the low riders.
Always good seeing you west coast guys digging on the vans
Thanks

The doghouse engine cover does take up some space.
Shagtastic, Corvair van!
You don't see those very often.
Groovy man.....✌️✌️
I was wondering if anybody had an A-Team van, I saw it go past you in the video.
Mr T wasn't driving though.
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. Growing up in Miami as a surfer Ute I had a 1946 Chevy panel. If it could talk 😮 🏄
Great times!
Great vid, cool old-school preserved vans!
This event always brings out the best boogie vans.
@@MikeFrankovich if you're from that era, as I am, (though from NE Oklahoma) you'll remember hanging out on the local cruise, where at least one of your friends drove a 'Party Wagon'.
Keep pumping out amazing van vids
Thanks
ARE U GOING TO HAVE YOUR VANS PAINT REDONE IN A FEW SPOTS? IT IS SUCH A NICE
COLOR COMBO, IT WOULD LOOK AWESOME IF YOU COULD.
Might have the airbrushed parts redone. It's been flaking off.
More More MORE!!!

Awesome!! That’s my wife n I’s econoline around the 19:00 mark! Great vid as always! I was wondering what power source you use for your gopro?
I carry a bunch of batteries with me.
@@MikeFrankovich cool, yeah I gotta buy a few for mine as well. Just thought you had constant power
Looking to see 1st Generation Econolines! Thanx!

Without that van you might not be here. No telling what the smell is 😅
Spotted on Merlins old school garage on hot rod power tour
Need to check that out. Thanks
When it is this show
More classic van video the vans they now build these days are garbage
These are real vans.
