Before beat-up Hondas and Fords were given new leases on life in "Pimp My Ride," a select group of automobile owners called vanners were installing bubble windows, air brushing murals on the side of their rigs and putting up wood paneling. Vanners loved their vans, and spared no expense to help the rest of the world fall in love with them too. Vans had their heyday in the 1970's, but their appeal has never left for some people. This weekend we visit vanners in Cortland, Ohio, for the 35th Annual Van Nationals.
