I see many many young people of breeding age that more closely fit the
stereotypes of hipsters and yuppies driving Vanagons hereabouts than I
see old hippie types.

You take a Vanagon in good shape with good paint, on top you mount a
cargo carrier for your skis and snowboards (winter), or a kayak or
stand-up paddle board (summer), clamp a couple road bikes or mountain
bikes on the back, and you have a Bend Vanagon.

Peace signs, not so much.
