Description[]
Super Van was first featured in the 1975 Flying Colors series. It was first issued with two different tampos on each side.
Originally, Super Van was cast with the option of not having any side markers, but all later castings have side markers. The glass color changed throughout the life of the casting.
The car can be playable in Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing.
In 2003, this popular casting was re-tooled as the '70s Van to be in the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 2. Hot Wheels has since re-obtained the rights to the name "Super Van", using it interchangeably with "'70s Van" in naming.
This casting has also been referred to as the Jones Soda Van, Super Van or 70s Van (sans apostrophe).
Boxes can be found on the rear of the interior/window piece if disassembled.
