Dodge Van pinback.

My grandpa and his friend bought new matching vans in 1973. Later my dad traded his Cougar to my grandpa for van. It was red and white just like this only with windows all around. Many years later I sold the van for $40 while my dad was at work. That sounds really funny and it sort of is. The van didn't run and it was blocking my Falcon in the "trench" of a second driveway we had. Dad said I could have half of the money if I could get it running and sell it. I messed with it for a few days and decided that half would be barely anything anyhow for as rusty and worn out it was. I called a salvage yard and they came and offered $40. I asked for $100 and the guy shook his head and turned to walk away so I said ok to the $40. We went everywhere in that van for many years. I found this pin a few years ago at an antique shop.
