I like the roll down side windows from the Corviar, the bigger engine house from the Chevy Vans but would have to come apart like the Econoline housing. Maybe forget the engine up front and have it in the back like a Volkswagen or Corvair. Then you'd be able to have a bench seat up front and have your girl sit right next to ya. You'd also get better traction. I also like the sliding ragtop on the deluxe VW buses. Any thoughts? What kinda body elements should this van have?

I've often thought that the 2nd Gen Chevy's headlights were too low. I thought what would it look like if you put 1st Gen Chevy headlights up in the original position on the 2nd Gen and then replace the headlights down low with fog lights instead? Also, the taillights size on the 2nd Gen I like better but I like the rounded 1st Gen taillights so why couldn't someone make a rounded bezel to surround the 2nd Gen taillight? My wife would say I've got too much spare time!LOL
remember its all styling to get sales too. Wonder why neither Gm & dodge designers didnt need a weight like fords did?? My design tells me id have an early gm front end,1967 up dual master cyl with later disc brakes, front & rear heat & A/c! Heated seats throughout,Better lighting as we do now, power steering & power brakes also. Also still have the Display type vans & full window vans too. All V=8 powered & od trannys!! Full GPS & eloctronic dashes also!!
