It's amazing to me that they haven't even identified the van in all these years. Airbrushing was usually the way design was done back in the 70's. You'd think someone would remember doing it. I've been looking around at van sites (people took a lot of pride in those vans, and many had van clubs and went to van shows). There's mention of an airbrush artist who's still around, now in his 70's, who used to travel to different van events (eVants) and do his work. What I would like to know is if the color of the van, described as blue-green, was an originally factory color one could choose, or was it an aftermarket paint job. Does anyone who's a carbuff have that answer? This is the only description (so far) that I've found of a Dodge Van that particular color, and it appears that one just like the description was recently sold on Craigslist.

I remember the Van craze of the '70's very well. My uncle had a '76 Dodge Van just like the one in your link and it was built to show quality specs. In fact, he used to show it at the Boston World Of Wheels show during that era.
His was Aqua Blue with "mag" wheels, heart shaped windows, tube front grill, vent in the roof, and air brushed portraits on the sides. Inside, there was shag carpeting, paneling on the walls, bed, refridgerator, captain's chairs, stereo with multiple speakers, etc....
It was awesome and both my brother and I got to ride in it from Massachusetts to Florida back in '76. We were both only 8 years old at the time but we were psyched beyond belief and those memories have endured for the past 34 years.
Lots of good car/van memories from when I was a kid!
