Little Van Goes...

August 07, 2006

Chuck and Kendra brought me the most amazing gift from the Pearce archives: A "Little Van Goes" van design kit. So amazing.Now, as a youngster, I didn't have one of these, but do remember playing with a friend's kit. Their name escapes me, but, I can wager a solid bet on this fact: The night I spent the night at their house, well, at some point, I was forced to drink warm milk over dinner with their family. Gross.It was my mom's cooking or it was nothing. That one still rings true, you lactose-curdled shits.Anyway, Chuck was generous enough to pass this treasure on to us, and, a couple kick-ass examples, still in pristine condition from his handiwork back in the early '80s:01. Six Wheels of Pure Bad Ass02. The P-Team(Modeled after the A-Team, but with "Pearce" in mind.)And of course, we had to climb under the hood and give one a shot, too:03. DDC Fall Tour Team RigAnd one more, uh, "concept car" with the current energy crisis in mind:04. DDC Hybrid Compact Rig- - - -"Gary played "hard to get" but then relented and "gave it up" to Lovejoy."- - - -"Contour, I knew you were the one for me."
