I have no idea what brand this van is, found in a junk yard at Imbil in the Mary River Valley of Queensland. It reminds me of some vans from famous shows and films though and I am sure it has US heritage. I would be confident it's time is over. No more Cannonball Run for it. As for the old International tractor beside it, a machinery person may find delight in resurrecting it.
These words from Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" seem to fit well.
"If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
Enjoy
