Someone could build a "Field Guide to Vanagons" page on the wiki with
photos detailing the visual exterior differences between the different
models and years -- or at least email the skeleton of the article to me
and I could post it. Then others could post side, rear, and front shots
of their personal vehicles.

While the cognoscenti could probably name the model and year of a
Vanagon with a quick glance, I can only identify Westys, plain Vanagons,
and Syncros (by the gas filler location).

I reckon there would need to be North American guide, one for Europe,
and so on, if someone wants get real ambitious.
