Sounds cool Dr Bob! Look forward to seeing it.

Rich, our club president had one of these up until just this year... he loved that thing and had it forever, but it finally needed too much to fix and he upgraded to an Astro conversion. We used to call it "the lipstick" due to mostly the color, and somewhat the shape. "Dustbuster" does seem more fitting though...

Now I want to get one, paint it brown and outfit it with a handle and a switch....

Need pictures

Ugly SOB's but the 3.8 engines are known to run damn near forever, I just can't get past the look, as bad as the Ford Aerostar.

Dustbuster is perfect......

Oh boy! My Grandfather had a 1996, loaded! At the time I drove a 1992 Honda Accord Coupe, 2.2 4 cycle, with cold air intake and axle back exhaust. The van with the 3.8 V6 got better mileage. Grandpa wanted to put his yellow cancer magnetic ribbon on it, but the only place it would stick was the tiny (but long) A pillars. The body was composite! Smack it with a bat! It would not dent. His was the Chevy Lumina APV, which he called "The Luminator!"
So, glad I seen this. He was a great man! He could not pass an Aerostar with a for sale sign. I can not count the numder of Astros and Aerostars he had. The reason I got into vans. This is not his, but is a 100% match.

While looking for a picture of one like his, I found this. Cool interior pic in link. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15343212/deluxebuster-chevy-lumina-apv-limo-for-sale/

woo. I love when old threads pop up! I almost bought a Trans Port in the late 90's. I had big plans to make it 'cool' and kinda hot rodded...I went up to Folly beach, SC where one was or sale and drove it. It definitely was not for me and I ended up buying an Astro AWD. you RARELY see them, now.

I had to. Been too sick to do much but play on the computer.
Built my dream Lumina.

That looks pretty cool.

Hope you are feeling better.
