Welcome to the Hallowed Halls of Suspicious Vans

In my childhood, I lived among legends. Growing up in the early 1990s, massive vans resplendent with airbrushed starships, flaming wizards, and demonic vixens still plied the roads of South Eastern Michigan. Sadly, those days are gone, and the once proud painted vans have given way to their foul cousins: The suspicious van.

Fortunately, Suspicious Vans has arrived to provide a singular clearing house of the most unseemly looking vans the world has to offer. There are homemade ice cream trucks, poorly worded clown mobiles, and broken down junkers that should have seen the scrap heap years ago. They’ve even taken the time to include a Hall of Fame, and an insightful guide to what, exactly, makes a Suspicious Van.

Curious for a taste of what Suspicious Vans has to offer? Why, just read on below.

    I’ve got bad news for you: by the early 90′s the overly-artistic Frank Franzetta inspired vans were already out… they must have gone to Michigan to die. The heyday of tricked-out vans of dragons, barely clothed women fawning over Conan swords took place in the 70′s. And don’t forget the interiors; earth-toned shag carpeting, sofas/beds, and sound systems featuring speakers that occupied the last remaining storage space. Ah yes, it was a magical time…
