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 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 brought this amazing van back to it's original
splendour and maybe even better.
Update March
2012: Nautilus arrived safe and sound at it's new home in California
this past week.
