Flower Child Van
This fantastic 60's van was parked in the alley next door to our hotel last night and was still there this morning. I couldn't resist taking a photo. It even had tattered floral curtains in the windows. I'm not sure what the smell of smoke emanating from the van was...ha!

And, what a fun color. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCool. And with an "Antique" license plate too!
ReplyDeleteGroovy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool van!! I saw a similar one a few months back but it was baby blue.
ReplyDeleteLove the color. I've started dreaming about a renovated van like that...and driving cross country! No smoking, though :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! A classic!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love absolutely everything in this picture… the adorable colors, the cuteness of this van, the vintage feel, the processing! Just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, Alexandra
Yikes! It's a flashback! (And a wonderful find!)
ReplyDeleteYou don't see too many of these anymore. Great capture....
ReplyDeletelove it, such a retro feel :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome van with a fun color!
ReplyDeleteFar out...lol! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteLike you I could not resist taking a photo of an old 1953 red Chevy convertible which is my topic. You do not see much of those old VW vans anymore either.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how different generations interpret vans.
ReplyDeleteOur interpretation: Old VW van: hippie, flower-child, recreational pharmaceuticals, free spirit, rebel. Plain van: service van = gonna cost us $$$. Minivan: that thing we subcumbed to in the name of children and said goodbye to the convertible sports car.
Our children's take on vans: plain white = rape.er van. Minivan = mom.mobile. Old VW van: cool!
some things never change - VW vans = cool!
Love it - these old VW vans are such classics. I always smile when I see one!
ReplyDeleteyou don't see many of these anymore and i always smile when i do see one. i'm betting these aren't the original colors! Fun!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Wonderful capture.
ReplyDeleteOh how well I remember these old vans. Very nice capture
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few of those van's around every now and then but never one this awesome color. Great find.
ReplyDeleteAn unusual color Pat - great find!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of sherbet in summer!
ReplyDeleteOh the days of these vans!! They still make me laugh just knowing where they went, and what went on with them, packed full of fun-loving people. I lived in the day, but never was inside one. LOL This is awesome - love the peach color! So 60's!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a tent like this for kids and I thought it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun! Aloha
