LOL
Only because I realize these Sportmans have the rear side pop-outs to let air out. I hate having A/C stuff in there... call me old school but I like plain fresh air blowing past my head from the window down. I have my '90 Mazda MPV - it do have A/C but never used it - only use it for heating in winter. Another point about the Sportmans is that I noticed it has lots of nice chrome trimmings - I love the shine of the chrome. So... I'm kinda sold on the window vans ... even if I need only one, that's good enough! But it must be a '60s model - that's the only condition.

SportVans have the side windows that open,,,,,, back door ones would let the exhaust in,,,,,,,,,but you can switch them around if you want,,,,the Deluxe ones have all that chrome,,,,,,,,,

^^ Donivan65, you got that right! I don't want the rear doors that pop out. Been there before.
Is there more other photos to show the Deluxes - interior, how it looks, where the chrome trim are on? I'd like to see all the views around these models if possible.

My pop-out's will be going on the rear small side windows. facing back working as a vent for the airflow coming in the front.

There were some Delux 1st gens that had 6 pop out on them(Special Order??) I got a set of 6 From Mark (108 Vanguy) in Cail, that all came off same van. And I think Tom Schaner told Troy & I about one he had striped that had 6 pop outs??

Don,
Do you know if the mirror bracket on this van was factory? I've never seen it before until I got the picture of my new van which seems to have the same mountings (even though it has "West Coast" mirrors on it). Was that a sportvan item? or just added later?

That Blue Van sure looks pretty from far away, but once you pulled up the floor mat, you could see the street,,,,,,,it had a rough life in New York. I even made a slide out window from a GMC Vandura and put it in my right rear door for air,,,,,BUT,,,,,,,that would be when I am parked,,,,,NOT,,,,,,,going down the road and having exhaust sucked in.......
