Re: Re-design
My first van was a 1969 dodge van.

Well there's your problem ... you should have had a

It would teach you humility and a sense of adventure.

As well as the realization that design doesn't mean it works ...

Enjoy.

1963 VW van
I had to search for a while to find one with the colors mine had. It was 1 year shy of qualifying as an historic vehicle when it was totaled by an incompetent driver in a snow storm.

Many many miles of smiles.

Take an example of something like the modern car or automobile. Its lineage can be traced back to vehicles such as the more humble Roman chariot and beyond. Whilst these two vehicles share some common traits, the technologies employed are literally eons apart. But what if we compare this year’s car to last year’s model. The design differences are going to be minor, as car design tends to advance in small increments.
​
The VW van was an adaptation of a delivery van to passenger use and marks the speciation of passenger vans from commercial vehicles rather than from passenger cars. This is still seen in the use of truck frames and engines in vans as opposed to car parts.
​
One thing you do see in vehicle evolution that you do not see in life is the adaptation of parts from one lineage into another, so you see comforts of passenger cars being incorporated into the vans instead of independent evolution after the common ancestor between cars and delivery vans.
​
Enjoy.
