The worst Dajiban I’ve ever seen:
The Parthenon:
Some massive bronze doors:
40’ tall Athena
A gryphon:
Lunch:
The Boilermaker Special:
A Cirque show at The Grand Ole Opry:
Today was good.

Wow, Parthenon looks pretty good. Especially after that bombing in WWII.

Did that van have all the structural integrity of a lasagna noodle?

How bad could it be? It’s still body-on-frame, right?

Nope. Dodge vans are unibody.

Huh. I was totally expecting them to be BOF like full-size GMs and Fords. A nd I hadn’t even bothered to look it up before sticking my foot in my mouth lol ...
Had to do some digging, but this Allpar page states that the unibody was “reinforced by two full-length open U-channels welded to the floorpan”. The only pic I managed to find shows a big arched part of the “frame” under one corner, and I can’t see much else. I bet too quick of a peek underneath would still have had me thinking BOF upon seeing those channels. The more you know...

I thought it was body on frame too, but then I went to the wiki page. Apparently the unibody actually gave them lower cargo floors and better handling with lower centers of gravity. Which would make them a better Dajiban racer, but maybe not a better platform for convertible.

Yeah, that makes sense. It also helps explain why they’re singled out for racing without hardly any competition from GM & Ford vans.

That and GM and Ford full size vans were never imported into Japan when new. The DSM agreement allowed Dodge Vans to be imported.
