1/64th die-cast
Party Pack 1976 USA
Looking back 34 years I was always going to be hooked on toy custom vans from the first time I got into my transit. if you buy a car its like the other 50,000 cars same colour same wheels same engine but build your own custom van and its yours a one off a vehicle that has your name all over it and i never do feel right in a car. and with in months of the vanning scene taking off all the big and small makers of van toys got onto the band wagon and when the real vans were taking off they had toys to match in all the toy shops Garages and stores all over the world.
Here are just a few of the amazing Custom vans that have been for sale from 1970s to 2004. the packaging on some of them is amazing showing the artwork from the 1970s in all its glory.

1970s custom van cards
Most of the vans below have there history in the 1970s when custom vanning was young the companies were fast to latch onto this new craze and turned out millions at a time Loose some of them are quite easy to find, they also did sets they are very hard to find today as are the mint carded vans and some of them are amazing and worth having just for the artwork on the boxes and cards.
