Of course, all the early vans, and then the Japanese wanted to get into the mini-van craze so the put fancy interiors in their old front hanger cargo vans. My brother had a Nissan--not the smartest shopper--they were all recalled but he owed so much on it he kept it and would go to the Nissan van graveyard for parts...... Never got his legs pinched off though.....

Wow, so much talent and so little taste. Did he grow up to be a modern car designer?

It kind of reminded me of the Stout Scarab from 1935, except they missed the mark just a bit.

A Continental kit on a Pacer, you don't see that every day....LOL

A couple of years ago, a good friend of mine got his wife a Pacer for their anniversary. That man is my hero. I told my wife about it and teased her that I was going to get her a Pinto for ours
