That Vanwagon was a good choice. The forward control Van has a very low radiator intake that is ducted under the floor to the radiator that's still in the traditional location in front of the engine between the seats.
This is far from the first airplane road vehicle. There is a DC-3 motorhome that was built in the 50's that's still roaming around with a Mesershmit toad.
