Why all of this agitation over that van?  The ad tells you all you need
to know.

It was "customized for an Art Show parade."  Art students and artists
modified this car.  These folks usually "march to the beat of a
different drummer."   With the convertible "top" people, probably also
artists, could sit in the van and wave to the crowd.

It all makes good sense if you just have that "artistic" orientation or
at least an appreciation for it.  :<)

You should see the Art Cars done by some of the students from the
Maryland Institute of Art for the annual art and cultural festival
Artscape held here in Baltimore.  This looks tame in comparison to some
of those.

And if you have a garage and love to take groups to the beach, well, it
is ready for you.

And the seller probably isn't the person who did the conversion anyway.
