Mods and Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the 1960s. This face-off continues as we examine the overall culture and choice of vehicles of these two groups during the "Mods & Rockers" era in the UK.

Behind the Garage Door...
It's been a very busy March with new donations to our collection!
HMS Truckie - 1967 Ford Econoline Conversionvan
This one-of-a-kind custom van was donated here to the AACA Museum by Luther John Deutsch of New Hampshire. The customization was done by Fred Marshalls Vans of Carlisle. This is one of the first, if not THE first customized vans. With a nautical theme throughout the full seascape wrap was hand painted with a brush. Every detail from the wooden bumpers with rope decoration to the wooden plank floors, dash and ceiling is flawless.

Million Mile Volvo - 1987 Volvo 240
Donated by Lehman Motors Volvo
It is one of the few vehicles on the planet that has surpassed the 1,000,000 mile mark. Bought new and serviced with Lehman Volvo since day 1, it was a one man owned car - Selden Cooper.
Needless to say this car has a long and well traveled history. Wrecked several times, and repaired each time (in fact completely repainted by Lehman), this 240 STILL runs and still has the original engine.

1975 Suzuki RE 5
This rare 1975 Suzuki RE5 donated by Keith Metzel of Dallastown, PA. This Suzuki has a rotary engine that was made by Suzuki for only 2 years.
