"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE... my kids call it 'Mama's Mobile Garden Shed.' For nearly 30 years this van has taken me and my garden supplies to the Evanston P-Patch to dig, plant, weed, water and harvest my vegetables and flowers. The small helper is my granddaughter, Cadia."

Hi Helen,
Good photo and good story! I can see you're taking good care of your van. I sold my '85 in '98 and still miss it's many functions.
