The Lion's Den
Penn State has some
thing that's orange and white
and purrs in the night.
Maybe you've seen it
cruising around campus or
maybe you were fortunate
enough to make it to the
"Hershey World of Wheels"
at the Hershey Convention
Center on January 6-8 where
"The'Lion's Den" custom van
was on display with about
100 other custom vans, cars,
and bikes.
This "pride of Penn
State" creation is owned by
John Hancharik, an engi
neering student at Capitol
Campus. John designed the
camper style interior which
features orange and white
formica cabinets, sink, ice
box, a stove mounted on the
van door to look inside of out
and a heart shaped table that
flips into a bed. The exterior
is orange and white with
murals of lions adorning the
sides, hood, and spare tire
cover, along with heart
shaped windows, fender
flares, and 50 series T/A
radials on 8 1 / 2 " wire mag
wheels.
Much of the $12,500
invested is due to all of the
electronic goodies inside,
with 8 gauges to monitor all
of the systems within the
van, Pioneer cassette and an
AM! FM 8 track stereo with 6
speakers and Mindblower
amplifier, CB radio tele
phone, 12 volt TV, and 2
alarm systems.
His van, along with its
matching Pinto cruisin'
wagon, have won 21 trophies
thus far, including a 2nd
place in his class at the
Hershey show. After 2 years
on the show circuit now,
John plans to sell his '76
Ford van and Pinto wagon
and begin building a new
"living room on wheels"
based on a '7B Ford
Quadravan (4-wheel drive
van). We wish him luck!
