Van-tastic! Famous Movie Cars Re-Imagined as Vans

Vans don’t exactly get a lot of air time in movies do they? Sure, a couple of hippies rode around in a van in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre but it didn’t really end too well for them. There was the Mystery Machine in Scooby Doo and while the A-Team’s GMC van may have a special parking space in pop culture, there hasn’t really been much else, has there?

Graphic designer Brandon Ortwein is championing the cause of the humble van in a new image series where he takes vehicles from famous movies and re-imagines them as vans. Have a look at his some of the images from his It Would Have Been Cooler As A Van series after the jump.
