I know the prevailing trend is to get organized and de-clutter. But sometimes being a bit of a pack-rat can pay off in enjoyment later on. Case in point, a copy of the 1978 Carguide magazine circulating through our office. This was a Canadian Auto buyers guide that listed specs and photos of all the cars on sale back then.
Thumbing through this, I spotted a little piece of copy that made me chuckle:
“The youth-oriented van popularity is growing so fast that the manufacturers are producing semi-custom vans.”
I remember doing up felt-doodle art posters of custom vans, complete with mag wheels, fancy paint and bubble rear windows. Fantastic.
I thought so much of this page (with it’s hippy-ish chick showcasing big ass foglamps on the front of a big ass Ford) that I thought I’d scan it and post it for your enjoyment

Wow. What a blast from the past. Ah, yes, vans were for “youth” then…considered bedrooms on wheels, I’d guess…and now we have mini-vans as the sole purview of Soccer Moms.
One never realizes just how much culture has changed during one’s lifetime until dipping into a piece of miscellania like that.
