This belongs to 'Sierravanman' on autoshite who asked me to post photos of his van as he wasn't able too, He uses it for as a tat carrier for his Cortina spares business.
This is from the owner - It is an import from Holland. It is a genuine factory van, not a homemade conversion, has no rear seats and a steel floor.I dont think they ever made any right hand drive ones. Its not an Ambulance,the upturned dinghy on the roof is for Holland, as it increases the volume to allow it to be classed a commercial vehicle, which means cheap road tax there. Its fibreglass so when the rest rots away beneath it,it can be a useful garden ornament or indeed a boat. The original roof is cut away inside, so its really useful to carry doors etc
A friend of mine in Holland bought it, abused it even more than it had been previously and was going to take it to the scrapyard (where it wouldn't have looked out of place), but I just had to have it. It snapped its crank on the motorway in Holland. I enjoyed being towed in it through customs by one of those yellow tractors with a revolving orange lamp. They accused me of drug smuggling...probably assuming I must have been on something to have such a thing...and it being broken at that. Since then its had another engine, clutch, exhaust,brakes, starter motor, bonnet,one wing, 4 doors, 2 chassis rails at the back,one back panel,sills and inner sills, floor, wheelarches,a tailgate,all the lights,2 seats,door cards and a carpet, 5 wheels and tyres ...and now the fresh paint .
Its a '91 1.8td.....but I have another one just like it that's an '88 2.3 indenor,but in a worse state ! I plead insanity.
Crammed in along a promenade and with lots of people around, this was the best shot I could get. As is the custom with these vans, the entire side opens up for selling goods. This one was quite long and was a 6-wheeler.
The Vario was the predecessor to the Mercedes Sprinter range. It was launched in 1996 after the T2 model, and, in its large capacity models over 3.5 tonnes, remained in production alongside the Sprinter until 2013. The Vario was also popular as a chassis for small buses and for emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire tenders.
These Victorian Railways U louvre vans were originally built with narrow doors, but at a later stage they were fitted with wide doors and blanking was added to the bottom to avoid forklift damage.
This is a modification of an earlier version. The key differences are:
- This version is dark red rather than reddish brown.
- I tried to break up the "louvriness" by adding hand rails on the ends and by blanking the bottom of the doors (thanks for the suggestion gambort)
- I changed the wheel brake and added the brake tie rod (thanks for the tips Brickhead).
The stickers aren't great...the colour match is ok, but the visibility of the edges is annoying.
This is actually an old shot. (Early Fall) But after flipping through some shots, I thought it would make a fantastic ad. Tell me what you think!

My wife took me to the Van Gogh exhibit in Salt Lake City for my birthday. It was a wonderful place for a photographer. Check out the projectors on the ceiling that are the source of the surrounding art. They seemlessly melded an ever-changing display of Van Gogh's work.

'The buildings were designed by architect Leendert van der Vlugt from the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt office in cooperation with civil engineer J.G. Wiebenga, at that time a specialist for constructions in reinforced concrete, and built between 1925 and 1931.' (from Wikipedia)

Founding and early years of Dodge
After the founding of the Dodge Brothers Company by Horace and John Dodge in 1900, the Detroit-based company quickly found work producing precision engine and chassis components for the city’s burgeoning number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the then-new Ford Motor Company. Dodge Brothers enjoyed much success in this field, but the brothers' growing wish to build complete vehicles was exemplified by John Dodge's 1913 exclamation that he was "tired of being carried around in Henry Ford's vest pocket."
By 1914, Horace had found a solution by creating the new four-cylinder Dodge Model 30. Marketed as a slightly more upscale competitor to the ubiquitous Ford Model T, it pioneered or made standard many features later taken for granted: all-steel body construction (the vast majority of cars worldwide still used wood-framing under steel panels, though Stoneleigh and BSA used steel bodies as early as 1911); 12-volt electrical system (6-volt systems would remain the norm until the 1950s); 35 horsepower (versus the Model T's 20), and sliding-gear transmission (the best-selling Model T would retain an antiquated planetary design until its demise in 1927). As a result of this, and the brothers' well-earned reputation for quality through the parts they made for other successful vehicles, Dodge Brothers cars were ranked at second place for U.S. sales as early as 1916. That same year, Henry Ford decided to stop paying stock dividends to finance the construction of his new River Rouge complex. This led the Dodges to file suit to protect their annual stock earnings of approximately one million dollars, in turn, leading Ford to buy out his shareholders; the Dodges were paid some US$25 million.
Also in 1916, Dodge Brothers vehicles won acclaim for durability while in service with the U.S. Army's Pancho Villa Expedition into Mexico. One notable instance was in May when the 6th Infantry received a reported sighting of Julio Cardenas, one of Villa's most trusted subordinates. Lt. George S. Patton led ten soldiers and two civilian guides in three Dodge Model 30 touring cars to conduct a raid at a ranch house in San Miguelito, Sonora. During the ensuing firefight the party killed three men, of whom one was identified as Cardenas. Patton's men tied the bodies to the hoods of the Dodges, returning to headquarters in Dublán and an excited reception from US newspapermen.
Death of the Dodge brothers, Sale to Chrysler
Dodge Brothers cars continued to rank second place in American sales in 1920. However, the same year, tragedy struck as John Dodge was felled by pneumonia in January. His brother Horace then died of cirrhosis in December of the same year (reportedly out of grief at the loss of his brother, with whom he was very close). With the loss of both founders, the Dodge Brothers Company passed into the hands of the brothers' widows, who promoted long-time employee Frederick Haynes to the company presidency. During this time, the Model 30 was evolved to become the new Series 116 (though it retained the same basic construction and engineering features). However, throughout the 1920s Dodge gradually lost its ranking as the third best-selling automobile manufacturer, slipping down to 7th in the U.S. market.
Dodge Brothers emerged as a leading builder of light trucks. They also entered into an agreement whereby they marketed trucks built by Graham Brothers of Evansville, Indiana. The three Graham brothers would later produce Graham-Paige and Graham automobiles.
Stagnation in development was becoming apparent, however, and the public responded by dropping Dodge Brothers to fifth place in the industry by 1925. That year, the Dodge Brothers company was sold by the widows to the well-known investment group Dillon, Read & Co. for no less than US$146 million (at the time, the largest cash transaction in history).
Dillon, Read & Co. offered non-voting stock on the market in the new Dodge Brothers, Inc., firm, and along with the sale of bonds was able to raise $160 million, reaping a $14 million (net) profit. All voting stock was retained by Dillon, Read. Frederick Haynes remained as company head until E.G. Wilmer was named board chairman in November, 1926. Wilmer was a banker with no auto experience and Haynes remained as president. Changes to the car, save for superficial things like trim levels and colors, remained minimal until 1927, when the new Senior six-cylinder line was introduced. The former four-cylinder line was kept on, but renamed the Fast Four line until it was dropped in favor of two lighter six-cylinder models (the Standard Six and Victory Six) for 1928.
On October 1, 1925, Dodge Brothers, Inc., acquired a 51% interest in Graham Brothers, Inc., for $13 million and the remaining 49% on May 1, 1926. The three Graham brothers, Robert, Joseph and Ray, assumed management positions in Dodge Brothers before departing early in 1927.
Despite all this, Dodge Brothers’ sales had already dropped to seventh place in the industry by 1927, and Dillon, Read began looking for someone to take over the company on a more permanent basis. Eventually Dodge was sold to Chrysler Corporation in 1928.
