1971 Citroën Normandie van from the Sundance Catalog, $29,995, available by calling (800) 422-2770. For more information, see sundancecatalog.com.
This 1971 Citroën van is a genuine joy ride. Outfitted underneath with a new engine, gear box, and drive shafts, its distinctive corrugated-metal bodywork is 100 percent retro cool. Can't you picture Phoenix or some other of-the-moment French group on their U.S. tour tooling down the interstate in it? The Normandie was originally a delivery truck, so there's plenty of room in back for band equipment, film gear, grocerieseven a bed. When you're done hauling, park it and put up your next houseguests in style. Just remember what they used to say back in the seventies: "If the van's a-rockin' "
