So cool !!
Back in 75, my older sister was a senior in HS. She was getting picked up for a date, my buddy and I were playing outside when he came pulling into the driveway with a custom van...Wow. We thought that was the wildest ride. He gets out of the van, long hair dude, and we were checking out the inside. My sister comes out front, all dolled up ready to go. "Ray" was showing us all over his badass van. Of course, my sister was getting pissed we were holding up her date.
When we saw the inside, with a totally shagged out rear area with a bed, I said to my buddy...Rays getting lucky tonight. Lol
My sister didn't hear, but Ray just smiled.
Off they drove, with the side pipes singing.
im sure your sisters been in many different vans with beds in them
Been a Vanner for 40 years. God bless ya'll !
Watching this from my 73 Dodge van. Home sweet home.
Awesome!! I couldn't help being reminded of the cartoon show Scooby Doo and the classic van.
Amazing. I love the old ones but my 95 Chevy conversion is like paradise on wheels. Plan to make many family memories in mine. Kids and dogs love it so memories coming. I grew up in a 70s Chevy so it’s all about the memories.
VANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!!
My dad had a 1965 Chevrolet Sportvan. I loved driving it when I got my drivers license
Took me back to my life in the late 70's California living
"If this van is rockin, don't bother knockin" ! Remember that one ?
Wow, had goosebumps all the way. What a beautifull sight. Thankyou for sharing. I would never see anything like that if not for these vids.
I used to go to the van Nats in Elkhart Indiana and Van Slam at National trails raceway in Zanesville Ohio in the 70's. 2500 was average attendance at Van Slam.
Reminds me of the mid sixties when I was about ten and my Uncle Joe George bought me a fortynine DIVCO milk truck that I promptly converted into a van camper. Was my first van and spent many happy hours camping and driving the country roads of Mass. You could stand up or sit down to drive. Have had many more vans over these many years, lots of fun and memories.This van run brought the memories and tears to me. Thank you, your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
Hey Kathy, Vinny used your account.
Reliving my youth!!! Thank you guys!!!!
Wow the last time that I was in one of the 1967 Vans was when I was about 12 year's old and those Vans were fun ! It's beautiful to see people still holding on to the pass ! Thank you for the memories it was sure fun going down memory lane with that crowd of Vans ,thank you very much for sharing !!!
Great video...Thanks Nats team that organized this and shared for all...Well done!!!
That guys hat with the tassels at the beginning is amazing not even gonna lie
Dad got a new dodge van in 1969 the year i was born. Alot of good memories in that van. It never let us down. That thing was a tank and built lika rock. Hes been offered 3x what he paid for it. Now i have it and he made me promise never to sell it. So for alil over a year now i been making it new again. Only thing im changing about it is nothing.. Lol numbers matching factor brown and black on the inside. Oh i did put vintage air conditioning in it.. Dad would call me a P***y. But socal seems hotter than it did when i was a kid back in the 70s and 80s.. Nice vid that took me back.. Thank u.!
I have had 4. Miss them all!😩
Never seen so many sweet vans in one spot. I Especially like the 60's era vans.
I Love Vans! That was a cool run... Let's do it again!
Proud former owner of 2 pre 80's chevy vans. Started with a 69 panel, 3 on the tree, 307. It was white and my boys called it Amana because we froze in the winter.. Then I bought a 78 Beauville with a 400 automatic. It had 100 K when I bought it and put another 60K on it before having to replace the motor. Went with a new crate 350 this time. Used it for work all week and it took us on several long vacations. Great memories!!
I wend to my first nats this year in my 86 g20 sportvan outta Milwaukee, WI and welcome by a lone wolf chicago van club. I'm 36 years old. I come from a family of wrenchers but this whole thing is different and I feel that in my gut. The entire experience was incredible. Everyone was so welcoming. All the creativity was so astounding. I truly felt like I found a weird family I never know existed. Y'all honestly and truly I understand the saying "I dont know if I saved the van or if the van saved me". I'm young. Lets save as many as we can and respect the older folks who created this uniquely American art form. Can I get a HELL YEAH if you a younger/newer/puppy trucker and you WILL NOT LET THIS SHIT DIE OUT. #saveemall
Hell Yeah glad you had fun. MA Nats next year! Or Jasper County Fairgrounds again every Memorial Day Weekend for Midwest Vans party.
Sooo cool. Thanks for organizing and videoing this🤩
I wonder???? How many children were conceived in all those van,,, rolling beds!!.lol..great show!!
Man that is freaking awesome I just got an 89 Chevy van got a great deal on it love it wished I would have done this years ago I am now joining the Van Wagon awesome
Why watch these vans if your gonna give it a thumbs down???? I don’t get it. Love these things.
I've always had vans. My first was a 1970 Ford. Then a few Chevy's. Just bought a 2018 high roof Ford Transit. Love it!
Matt Miller .... Likewize Brovanner...cant imagine driving anything else with 4 wheels!!!
You are outstanding in your field!
As much as I love the customization of some, I still appreciate how some look like they just rolled out of the junkyard….
I love the older vans they had style
I enjoy that I'm 57 years old we used to do that back in the 70s with the old vans vans shows thank you guys text me back away it took me back away and my youth
Awesome, thanks jj. Love looking at all the different vans, all the creativity, different ages.
Got a soft spot for the 3rd gen Fords (maybe because that's my current van).
Great turnout.
That hat is everything
I have never seen a caravan of vans that many before I bet at the park was one heck of a party with all those people and music and beer.

If I win the lottery a 70s sin bin is on the list for purchasing.
I’m just undecided on the mural I want.
A fire breathing dragon with a half naked chick riding it while carrying a crossbow , or a wild striped graphics theme.
Choices are tough.

Lost my 1978 dodge van in a Divorce, and it was sweet, I wish I still it, it had all sage carpet, honey comb wheels from the 70"s, 318 a727 auto trans, AC and it was sweet everyone called it the scooby do van, I have forum another one it's a 77 318 but it going to take some work and I don't know if I'm up for it, I do miss vanning.

I’m so stoked for this van Nats!! Driving my early from California!
Didn't know this many vans still existed. How or can you even customize a newer van, like a Savana or the full size Nissan?
Wow that's a great turnout, I've got two vans myself, hopefully I can make one of these events.
It's the annual crap ton of Van's and 1 Taurus show! Very cool vans.

Just like the 70es awesomeall airbrushed up it was a cool time in my life musclecars and vanners
They need to be putting the murals in them like back then was awesome a rolling art gallery
Nice.. Had a 68 Chevy Van I miss her so much, I looking for another, I have a 64 Chevy pickup 283 3 on the tree.
Awesome!! 👍👍
Sweet cruise..nice one...
Beautiful Vans
I had a 66 Chevy van and a75 dodge van ,had them customized back in the day miss those days
New Subcriber&Awesome Vans😁
Oh one day I'll have one...grew up with Vans in the family
So cool!!
For me dodge made the nicest vans from 70’s into 90’s. Not enough nice 80’s dodge vans in this group. A ton of 70’s which are stunning looking but the 80’s also could look very good. I had a 85 with a 5.9 360, was a “Ram Wagon” which I loved, large sliding side door, and large rear door. Gives nice symmetry to how it looks. Had tons done to it. Sadly had to sell in like 2004, got a 97 high top dodge conversion but only kept for a few years. Too much gas
I have a '63 econoline I tore down and built up. I have albums of pictures from the 70s when people customized vans and would go camp for days in big fields. No AC just a lot of booze
I had a 69 GMC HandiVan in 1987. Had an inline 6 with a 3 on the tree and cracked block, but it ran great.

My personal favorites are the 60's with fat drag tires raised to the sky. I built my 69 Ford with Skyjackers with every pound of air they would hold to keep the tires off the fenders, standard portholes and killer (quadrophonic) 8 track. Was a sweet ride, until the ex-wife made me get rid of it for a RV. Damn, should have got rid of the wife- sooner.
Mr t would be proud!
I'm gonna start on my first van 96 ASTRO conversion
when i was 10 years old, my sister dated..and eventually married her boyfriend that had a van..dont recall the make or year..but it had a desert mural on the side..with a group of three air horns on top, and carpeting and furniture inside..then another brother in law..in the early 80's had a custom van..still dont recall make or model..but it had a mural of the viking from molly hatchet on the side..and as a side note..when i was in my teens cruising stratford road here in winston salem n.c. there was a guy named keith who had an all blacked out van with a HUGH jack daniels logo on the side..just like the label from the bottle..
Restoring a 66 Ford supervan right now. Second owner and 50,000 miles.
You should film that and post it.
VANLIFE BABY!!!!!
