The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts How rare is a 1947 COE VAN?

I found this one in my search. I have seen later vans, but this is my first Art Deco van. I know some big bolt guys have been planning on turning a COE into a Suburban type vehicle, would this work? ......g COE

Chances are that COE started out as a Bookmobile. There used to be several of them in my area, when I was in High School, back in the late 70's. UNC-Chapel Hill University, had one. By the time, I started my COE fasination they were all gone except one. I tried for years to purchase it, but to no avail.

For some reason the song "Jeepers Creepers" keeps popping into my head,

Yeah, but that was a converted farm truck. Someone has one in the gallery.

i'd have to say ditto on the jeepers creepers thing also, one thing i didn't get is in that movie that got that truck just crusing like a bat outta hell, i'm sure thats not stock...

I'd say its a pretty rare truck i've never seen one, but then again i'm only 20 years old so that don't mean much but i haven't really seen pics of one like that on the internet but then again an Art Deco cabover is kinda a rare thing on its own and a even bigger plus if it has a vintage body on it, i think anyways

Old Iron Chevy, read this gallery submission. It's the one for the Jeepers Creepers truck and it explains how the truck drove that fast etc...

that thing is cool! gotta love the potential creep factor!
