The super-sexy little van shown above was recently offered on eBay. It's a 1960 Lloyd LT600, but if you want it, it's too late; the auction listing ended last weekend.
Oh well. Luckily, you can still wait in eager anticipation for the upcoming Fall 2011 ABC-TV show that will be called (wait for it...) Pan Am.
Here's the summary from the Daily Beast:
Just as NBC is jumping into the period-drama game of Mad Men with Playboy, so too is ABC traveling back to 1963 with Pan Am, the Jack Orman-created drama (directed by The West Wing’s Tommy Schlamme) about the flight crew of the then-premier American airline company. Starring Kelli Garner, Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie, Michael Mosley, Jonah Lotan and Karine Vanasse, the series depicts the professional and personal intrigues of the well-traveled flight attendants and pilots. But there’s also an unexpected espionage subplot that’s set just as the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia was beginning to heat up, which gives the show an intriguing narrative spine that’s about more than just hairstyle malfunctions and extracurricular activities.
UPDATE: Here's the trailer:

When I saw the blurb about the Pan Am TV series, I thought, "I wonder if Todd is involved with that as a consultant?"
