Nautilus
What a story this is.
This van was one of the most popular vans of the 70's. It was
originaly built in Ohio by Hooper. It was on the cover of several
magazines back in the day and appeared at many car shows. At
some point it's popularity waned and it fell into a state of
disrepair. This is where the present owners Jim and Lucy come
into the picture. They are long time vanners with one of the
oldest van clubs going, Three River Vans out of Pittsburgh. With
some help from their friends they have over a number of years
been bringing this amazing van back to it's original splendour
and maybe even better. We'll have the full story here soon. Pictures
taken by a number of vanners notably GupEboy, Gary, Superbeast,
Wookee and others. |
