Looks like an early 90's GM sedan.

I can identify that no designer was involved in the making of this vehicle.

It’s called the Soul, it’s made by Orlove Motors.

It's a step van rebodied from a dodge caravan. Forget the company that did it, but the guys that did our laundry service at work back in the 90s had one so I'd assume the vintage would be late 80s early-mid 90s ish

Yes. I was re-imagining it with a small-block Chevy V-8, but it’s FWD, so keep looking...

Think: an angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees.

Do you know if they ever built one based upon a RWD chassis? Like Grumman did for the Postal Service?

I don’t know for sure but it seems like they all were transverse Chrysler V6 powered.

Just saw it. Very cool, although my brain is not currently suited to thinking about three-dimensional geometry. Ouch.

I’m also boasting about my fabrication skills. I was at a training on Friday and the teacher doing the training posited the question, asking how you’d slice the cube to get the result. I knew the answer immediately, though I had to figure out exactly how it would look.

For my part, I struggle mightily with probability, economics, and the like.

Utilimaster Aeromate, based on a Chrysler minivan platform. Used to see them around once in a while in the ‘90s, but they were never common. I think the first time I ever noticed one was in that movie Baby’s Day Out, which IMDB tells me came out in 1994.

There’s a link on this thread by one Dr. Vegas who refers to one of these vehicles, albeit a larger one, showing up in “Men In Black.”

I’m looking for a project vehicle, but it needs to be RWD. So that tire smoke can ensue.
