GER PETERS TEES

We're excited to have out new HouseoSpeed/Vinvanco shirts coming. The artwork features a first generation van peeling out as the female passengers screams.

Any resemblance to my lovely bride and the day-to-day contact at HouseoSpeed, is as they say, purely intentional.

JOHNNY JALOPY LENDS HIS TALENT

We had Johnny Jalopy add the Vinvanco name to one of his killer illustrations. We're hoping to negotiate to use this sweet-ass artwork for t-shirts, patchs and maybe even prints. We'll keep you posted.

WE'RE POSTING REGULARLY ON FB

In case you were wondering WTF happened to this blog, we're pretty much doing all out communicating on Facebook these days.
Feel free to join us:

A KILLER ECO PU

Saw this beautiful Econoline @ the Rocky Mountain Auto Show, which opened today and goes through Sunday. This was a full-custom build, was equipped with a mid-engine, a custom frame and a high level of workmanship. It's even nicer than my crappy cell phone photos indicate.
Enjoy!

THE DAY HAS ARRIVED

After much planning, hand-ringing, back and forth with artists and estimates from printers, we have finally officially launched VINVANCO.com, a.k.a. Vintage Van Company (HERE'S A LINK TO OUR PRODUCT PAGE: http://www.houseospeed.com/servlet/Categories) The beginnings may seem humble: a few bumper stickers, here, a couple of t-shirts there, but the hard part is done. We have original artwork from the amazing Tuck (http://www.houseospeed.com/servlet/Detail?no=303), and other artists are officially engaged in adding to the mix. New items will begin dropping with regularity
and you'll be seeing a lot of love for the first-gens. Our first exclusive bumper stickers are here and right in back of them will be a series of bumper stickers patterned after our original HOUSEOSPEED.com stickers (http://www.houseospeed.com/servlet/Categories). We'll have a first-gen DODGE sticker, a first-gen CHEVY sticker, a first-gen FORD Econoline sticker, and a multi-make sticker. I've written some fresh lines, borrowed some existing chestnuts and put a lil' spin on a few of the well-worn cliches. Each one of the vans in our series will be customized, using 70's period wheels and parts. NO BILLET here, folks. If you go to our VINVANCO Facebook page and like us, you'll see the new products before the rest of the world does, which is probably a good thing, given the fact that supplies will be limited. So thanks everyone for your considerable patience and fasten your seat belts for a run of fun first stickers, koozies, tees and whatever else we figure out along the way.

A portion of the proceeds generated by VinVanco will go to the mechanical restoration of "Poochie". Its orginal paint will remain intact, while its ride height and interior will receive thorough "VINVANCO-ization". 

Our first Merch is at the printers...

ARTWORK HAS ARRIVED!

The long wait will soon be over. Here's a sneak peek of the the van artwork we commissioned from Tuck. Be on the lookout for stickers, patches, and tees if demand proves strong enough. We're stoked and can't wait to offer the merch. 

Thanks everyone for your patience. And thanks to Tuck for being such a complete badass.
