Old Glory is the Perfect Van for Independence Day

1. As American As It Gets

Old Glory is an old patriotic van with numerous trophies in its name. A man named Jerry Wesseling modified this Dodge van not only to win shows but also as his daily driver. Everything about this van screams "America," from the paint scheme to the huge amount of shiny chrome.

2. Old Glory

Old Glory is a nickname used to describe the American flag, which makes it a perfect nickname for this Dodge van. Jerry never stopped modifying this van, even after these photographs were taken. His latest modification that came after the pictures were taken was a new grille, which became known as the Glory Grille.

3. A Place You Want To Be

The interior also sports the same color scheme that represents America. With crushed velvet red seat that turns into a bed, this is an interior we would all love to be in. There are hidden compartments all around the inside of this van, and lots of chrome, even around the gauges.

4. She's Not All Talk

On the sides of Old Glory, you may notice the thick exhaust, and make no mistake about it, she's not all talk. Jerry installed a blower on his small-block 360. Under the 6.71 and Enderle is a 750 Holley double pumper, as well as an Edelbrock manifold, which pushes the exhausts right into a pair of Air Research heads.

5. Vanning Exotica

On top of Old Glory sits a huge Coleman AC roof unit, big enough to make this van feel like the North Pole. Jerry Wesseling used Old Glory as a lab rat to try things on it before he offers them to his customers, which would be people that want their vans customized like this patriotic piece of art.
