Here is a 1967 Logo van I bought in Den Haag in June 1972 on a 3 month camping trip around Europe. Genco A/C contractor work van was like new with 6ok km on speedo. Some rust from Holland winters I paid $600 us for it and drove it with my bride to be all over Europe and Morroco. Shipped it back to SoCal. for $300. abd drove it for another 8 years till finished Grad school when I bought a 914 2.0, Sold the van for $1500. People used to pull me over with stories of seing this van all over the country and Europe. What they no doubt saw were other Genco logo work vans. A lot of people thought it was a logo for gay men which was a good laugh.. I did see one other Genco logo van with same paint scheme but it was a Baywindow van. Also years after selling it to a surfer dude I was driving through Palms Springs and loking down a side road saw the distinctive painted van crossing a street about a block away. I chased it down to find an old Dutch house painter who bought it as a work van and was just about to paint it all one color! Go figure what were the odds of catching it at that moment!

Bought this cool Logo van in De Haag, Holland in 1971 for $600. USD. It had only 60k klicks on the speedo and was almost like new! Drove and camped with it all over Europe for the summer with my Dutch/Indonesian/American/soon to be wife girlfriend. We were 20 years old and had a great time including lots of fun at the Milk Weg Hashish bar and Heinikens tour. Shipped it bach to L.A. for $600. USD and this pick is showing my passing the keys to the "Dude" who bought it (about1978) after I drove it all through my 4 years of college and 2 yeras of grad school. Sold it to him for $1600. and saw it once afterwards a few years later down off a side street in Indio that I just happen to glance down. As I turned around to look at it I saw a different old man getting into it...he was a dutch guy and house painter and was going to paint the whole bus in the next month a solid color as it was his work truck! What fate eh? Used to get notes on it all the time saying people saw it all over Europe and The world. Genaco was a francised company and they probably saw other vans like mine....I did see a baywindow with the same paint and logo scheme over in France. People thought it had something to do with sexual idenity as symbols for man and woman were pretty commonly used in hippy art and such....If they were old and obnoxious "love it or leave it!" types my girlfiend used to say she was a transexual for laughs and we'd start making out! HA! You might notice I did (and was the first I'll take the blame) cut neatly my rear wheel well openings and applied Toyota Land crusier Fiberglass flares to make for a clean install of 1`5x 10:x 32: Armstrong Comando rear tires as we used theis as a pit and pre runner for my friends class 10 SCORE race car back in those days. Pitted in La Paz for the Baja 1000 and out in Arizona for the Parker 500. Took it on many highway 1 and 101 trips up to redwoods and along California coast. Rebuilt engine once (Rimco) and put on a external oil cooler and that was about it....miss it! Still have the wheel well cut outs! Will try and post better pic I am just getting close to digging out the deep storage where I know I'll find lots of good pics!
